Wasn't Rails 1.0 invented to solve this exact problem? A decade later and after 5 versions we are here?

I know this will get downvoted, but here I go anyway: Please stop reinventing the wheels. Just stick to one library/framework whatever crap they are. Why? Because your new shiny wheel will be as crap as the old one very soon.

I am myself refusing learning new tools in javascript. I think I have spent enough time learning enough of them. I have a selected set of them, and I turn down projects which fall out of that set. Less money, but better mental health.

Ask HN: Anyone considering using Kotlin over Go for web dev?

I've been developing web api and apps with Go for some years. My feeling about this can be summarized by repetitive questions that appear on /r/golang about how to build a web app in Go, what framework/library to use in Go to build a web app. The high frequency of the same question is a sign that something is not right about web dev in Go.Kotlin based web frameworks and libraries seem to be...
