I've been a software engineer for 32 years (I'm in management now, but I still write non-critical-path code). During my career, I've used Express, Koa, Rails, Django, Laravel, Pyramid, Sinatra, Flask, Pedestal, Luminus, Phoenix, and several other backend frameworks. If I were starting out as a "noob" today, I'd learn Elixir and Phoenix.
