NestJS is probably the closest thing to a Rails-like framework in JS. Also Platformatic by the creator of Fastify. Still, the dependency entanglement in JS is just crazy. This is the dependency graph of Platformatic: https://npmgraph.js.org/?q=platformatic#zoom=h https://npmgraph.js.org/?q=platformatic#zoom=h AFAIK there's no JS framework that solved the whole thing and doesn't depend on other packages. I don't know why JS devs historically have an aversion to frameworks. Maybe the author of the article is right and this is caused by preventing heavy bloated JS apps in the browser. In any case, after 10 years of Node in the backend, I'm done with it.
