- emodendroket 3y agoI don’t agree that Go is more common than node (or other options you did not mention like .NET).
- iainmerrick 3y agoI wonder if part of the confusion here is that “backend” is pretty overloaded. There are backends like API servers, and web server backends (which at Google they call “frontends”!)

Express is wildly popular, more popular than ASP.net laravel according to the professional developer survey https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2022/#most-popular-technologies-webframe-prof https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2022/#most-popular-technolog...
