Goddamnit, the JavaScript ecosystem needs its own Visual Basic. Something that comes with everything you need to build and deploy a basic, but functional, real-world application.
* Any dependencies need to be installed to build a real world (server + UI or API) application = non-starter.
* Any shell commands needed to write, build, or deploy the app in a container = non-starter.
* Any code necessary to lay out the UI (including HTML, CSS) = non-starter.
I haven't kept abreast with the Microsoft ecosystem. Does Visual Studio have something like this for Node apps? Is ASP still a thing for C#?

- tankenmate 3y agoExactly, front end coders are very design driven (obviously) so they often value "ooh the shinies" brand new framework, etc over "let's engineer this correctly" battle tested not so shiny code.
