I know there is still a tendency to choose Express as a de-facto standard, but I have been using Adonisjs more thesedays. For me it feels more familiar since it follows much of the Laravel principles and patterns, but I also like it because it does come with a lot of boilerplate stuff filled out, but not enough to overwhelm you.

It looks interesting. Some observations/metrics of the repo I use for a preliminary judgment of a project:

- comparatively large community

- only a handful of open issues while approximately a thousand issues have been closed

- on the downside it seems driven (and developed) by a single person (same as with Nest.js) which imposes a comparatively high risk in my opinion

- includes a lot of "first party packages" for things that already exist in the ecosystem, such as their own Lucid ORM. Depending on your point of view might be a good (less dependency on NPM ecosystem) or bad (NIH)
