Eactly. I was targeting personal ease of use. I remember that handling authentification in JS was a pure nightmare, so I have a strong bias towards frameworks handling that for me.
Ok thanks for the link!

I "was" good at ES6. ;) Thanks for the answer. Indeed the fragmentation of the JS ecosystem makes it quite difficult to know where to stand. The link to roadmap.sh helped me see a clear path. Thanks for the mention of Netlify, I'll take a look.
Ok, glad to have a python-point of view. Why did you switch from Laravel to Django? I prefer to use Python than PHP, but except for data-science stuff, I never used python for web dev. I suspect that the learning curve is not that steep?

Thank you so much! The visualisation makes it very clear to see where I stand. I love it. It's funny to see how much has been developed after the "Build Tools" section in those past few years. Most of the technologies were in beta a few years ago.

AngularJS was the default choice, and Laravel was the cool framework to do backend stuff.I became CEO of a SaaS startup and stopped programming for the past 8 years. I now want to get back to developing my own...
