For me personally, I find myself reaching for go + html/template + sqlite unless requirements lead me towards something else. It is simple and straightforward, and gives me decent velocity. In the past I might have said express + react, but the number of dependencies those pull in just gives me an uneasy feeling. I like sticking to the standard library as much as possible. At work where I’m in Visual Studio most of the time, asp.net core + entity framework core is easy to work with too.
