> Yeah, unless I am building a very performance sensitive web service, either in terms of memory or CPU efficiency, js/typescript or some other web centric language is a much easier choice, and is less costly to build in. I really do not understand how convoluted javascript frameworks that require a thousand tools and checkers and dependencies just to put up a hello world are sold as "easier choices", specially when there is no mention of SPAs anywhere. Is it that hard to deliver static or dynamic HTML+CSS?
