Posted on Jun 9 Greetings, fellow web developers! Today we're going on an epic journey through not one, not two... but nine different web frameworks! 🤯But first... Why did I do this? Well as a founder and CEO of MarsX - lowcode platform (since age 6 🤯), who lived in many countries and has lofty dreams to transform the software development world; it was just another day at work!That's right - I painstakingly built a simple todo list app in each of these languages and documented my experience for your reading pleasure. Without further ado, let's meet our contenders:For each language/framework combo, we'll discuss setup time⏱️ ,routing🚦 ,Database integration💾 ,as well as overall architecture. And ofc, you'll see the code...my spagetti code :DNext.js brings React to life with its easy setup process and great developer experience out-of-the-box!Setup: Easy peasy lemon squeezy 🍋Routing: Built-in dynamic routing.Database integration: Use any database you like, as long as it's supported by Node.js.Ah, the classic Ruby on Rails. This framework has been around for ages and remains one of my favorites!Setup: rails new and off we go! 🚀Database integration: ActiveRecord has your back, making it easy to work with databases.Routing: RESTful routing is built-in and simple to use.Django - the web framework "for perfectionists with deadlines" - doesn't disappoint. Plus, who doesn't love Python?Setup: django-admin startproject gets you up and running quickly.Routing: URL configuration can be a bit more complex than other frameworks but is still manageable.Database integration: ORM makes database interactions smooth sailing⛵️ .Laravel brings elegance to PHP development by providing clean syntax and an enjoyable developer experience.Setup: A breeze with Composer (composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel my_todo_app)Routing: Simple web.php file for defining routes 🗺️ .Database integration: Eloquent ORM keeps everything neat and tidy.Java Spring brings the power of Java to web development with a robust framework and plenty of configuration options.Setup: A bit more involved, but manageable.Routing: Annotated controllers make routing a breeze.Database integration: JPA provides solid database support.C# .NET offers top-notch performance and comes packed with features for building full-stack web apps.Setup: Use Visual Studio or CLI tools - either way, it's smooth sailing⛵️ .Routing: Attribute-based routing lets you define routes directly on your controller methods 🎯 .Database integration: Entity Framework Core is powerful and well-integrated into the ecosystem.Gin is an excellent choice for those who prefer the simplicity and speed of Go. It's lightweight yet fully featured!Setup: Easy setup using go mod init🚀 .Routing: Simple route definition in just a few lines of code!Database integration: GORM makes working with databases enjoyable 💾.Vapor brings the power of Swift to server-side development, and it's almost as delightful as a freshly-baked 🍏 pie!Setup: A bit more involved due to Xcode setup time.Routing: Route definition is straightforward and readable.Database integration: Fluent ORM is powerful and expressive.Ktor helps you build web apps with Kotlin, combining simplicity with the power of JetBrains' language innovations💡 .Setup: Requires some initial configuration but manageable.Routing: Uses DSL for defining routes - clean and elegant🎩 .Database integration: Exposed library makes working with databases simple yet powerful⚙️ .Hold on to your hats, folks! We've got a brand new framework/language that's so ridiculously easy, even my grandma managed to build the todo list in just 7 minutes!But here's the catch - it's still in private beta, and you'll have to battle through a waitlist like Black Friday shoppers trying to snag that sweet deal. Want in? Join the frenzy here.Nine different frameworks used to build the same app - may your startup grow into a deca unicorn🦄 , no matter which one you choose. Just remember to choose wisely; after all, your framework will dictate your life for the next nine years😉 .Happy coding!Follow me or say hello on twitter: johnrushxTemplates let you quickly answer FAQs or store snippets for re-use.credits to fireship for all my inspirations Are you sure you want to hide this comment?
