Ask HN: What is the most pleasant, uncomplicated full stack to start with?
Hey HN,
I'm a backend/systems programmer by trade who has always wanted to build a full stack app, but gets frustrated / overwhelmed by 'modern' web dev. I’m incredibly wary of overcomplicating and don’t want to throw in the entire kitchen, if YAGNI. I want to build a somewhat complicated UI (think Notion level) and not completely bend over backwards making the front-end work through 10000 layers of abstraction.
Right now, I'm looking at Svelte(kit) and a Go (stdlib) or Rust (Axum) backend. I know Rust is a bit of a meme, but I find it very pleasant to write vs. Go in a lot of respects.
Is there something else out there that is worth trying? I have thought about trying Elm, but it seems to be niche / not future-proof.
