haven't done frontend in years ... so how do I use this with say my spring boot backend ??

  Spring Boot is a fullstack web framework but it can be used as a backend web framework. You would use Spring Boot as the backend web framework and Qwik as the fullstack web framework that, instead of using a database*, uses an API powered by Spring Boot to access information. Everything in the Spring Docs about HTML/CSS/JavaScript would cease to be relevant. https://spring.io/guides/gs/serving-web-content/ https://spring.io/guides/gs/serving-web-content/ * Qwik is perfectly capable of using a database despite being a frontend-heavy framework. It's like Next.js in that the backend runs in Node.js and you can use any npm package that runs on Node. The server-side part of Qwik would be lighter weight with it just passing requests on to the Spring Boot app.

    Basically, needing two servers... One for the API, one (mandatorily a js one, nodejs or deno or whatever... ) to serve the pages. Personally, I don't like much where the frontend is trying to lock people into.(javascript)

      Apart from just disliking JavaScript as a whole, what specifically would you improve to make it acceptable? I think any problems it has on BE would also apply on FE, and should be improved?

        > Apart from just disliking JavaScript as a whole That isn't how I read it. To me it sounded like the issue was having to run a JavaScript web server. They might like JavaScript on the frontend. > I think any problems it has on BE would also apply on FE, and should be improved? Isometric js isn't all-or-nothing, but it sometimes feels that way with a fullstack js framework.
