A TS backend is inferior to a PHP backend merely due to available frameworks being night and day in favor of PHP.

A TS backend is going to have a SPA frontend, reducing the complexity of the backend significantly.

Use Koa and a database client and you're good.

PHP isn't "complex", it's nearly identical with minor variations.

My point is that the need for a backend "framework" decreases significantly if you take that burden on the frontend.

And anyone writing a JS/TS backend is likely doing that. So I would expect fewer "frameworks."

What kind of operations do you imagine an application is used for?

j / k navigate · click thread line to collapse
