But aren't there like, legal requirements jstpst has to meet? Like GDPR and stuff like that?
I don't suspect y'all of anything crummy, but if it's not a concern for us and if we've been running with dozens (hundreds?) of users for so long, I guess I'll be fine too.

Reply to comment by voxpoplar in Why is JavaScript only used on websites and webapps? by twovests
Oh I love these "weird JS behavior" talks and they're probably the reason I felt "Hmmm" in the first place about JS. (And the dependency issues you mentioned)
So while Javascript doesn't exactly make it hard to write good code, it makes it extremely easy to write incredibly awful code
This is an impactful takeaway

Ooh I have nothing to add but I appreciate this perspective, esp. as someone who hasn't done anything real with concurrency

Right? I can't articulate what weird mental blocks I had about JavaScript but it's over 20 years old but I feel you entirely on that "hm JS on DOS? wack".

Reply to comment by musou in Hey WebDev people, what tools should I use for a simple full stack web app? by twovests
Django sounds appealing to me since I already love Python a lot. Phoenix appeals to me because of the name, and then I can tell people "Yeah I have a side project using Python and Phoenix" and it sounds really rad, like I'm a sorcerer in a fancy tower

Ooh I've seen two people recommend PHP so far here! My understanding of PHP was always that it was universally hated by everyone who ever used it, but the way you describe it actually sounds quite appealing.

For what it's worth, I found out that React has a really cool tutorial for a client-side tic-tac-toe game. See https://reactjs.org/tutorial/tutorial.html

For reference, this is a Jan 2019 Ycombinator post describing a go-to stack: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18829557
TLDR:
- Frontend: React with TypeScript
- Backend: Django (Python) or Rails (Ruby)
- Databases: Postgres
- Serve using: Nginx, with cookies for authentication
- Tooling: Use VS Code for Javascript, and something called
json-server
innpm
for a quick REST API
(I understand REST is sort of a language describing APIs that can be imported into various web frameworks?)
This sounds like what I have in mind, but I know a lot of people have strong opinions and I like to hear them.
