Oh yes -- 100%.
Why would anyone use JavaScript when there are web stacks that JavaScript-free? You can use Flutter on the front end (people rave about how nice it is to program in Dart and Flutter) and there are also options like Elixir/Phoenix/LiveView and HTMX, which allow you to build modern web apps without messing with JavaScript.
I can't stand the fact that every other tech startup is using Node on the backend.
Everything can be so much simpler and better and nicer, but it is not.
- techpression 2y agoJoining as a lead engineer in a startup, everything we do on the web will be Elixir. After three stints with Next.js “backends” at previous places I have vowed to myself to never use it or take a job where they use it ever again.
