I think there might be a 'purist' strain here on HN.
Most complex/serious web-apps use frameworks as a given. There's just too much to have to do without them, though it depends on what you're trying to do, surely.
HN itself probably doesn't use a framework.
- webmaven 10y agoHN is written in Arc, a Lisp/Scheme variant. HN source (news.arc) is actually distributed with the language: https://github.com/wting/hackernews/blob/master/news.arc https://github.com/wting/hackernews/blob/master/news.arc Lisps tend to blur the distinction between application code, library code, and framework code somewhat, at least with well-designed applications.
