Ask HN: Starting a project today, which web framework would you use?
Node + Koa + React (server side rendering) + ReactRouter + Redux + TypeScript + Postgres<p>Not because they are so great but because everything else is even worse.<p>After significant React experience I can no longer tolerate send-html-template-sprinkle-javascript stacks.<p>The downside is that the amount of boilerplate is unbearable. There&#x27;s significant friction in the tooling because of transpiling, sourcemaps, multiple layers of sourcemaps, file watching, having to produce multiple different bundles for server side rendering, client-side bundle and so on, testing with transpiling is a pain, test coverage with transpiling is at times borderline impossible, proper isomorphic data-loading is difficult and the list goes on. Still prefer it to the other stuff.
