SvelteKit! https://kit.svelte.dev/

It's really fun and easy to make front and back-end apps with any combination of pre-rendering, client-side navigation, and server-side rendering on server-based or serverless platforms. To me SvelteKit makes it feel like there's finally a harmonious unity between the front and backends. Plus the dev experience is straight fire. Not quite at a 1.0 release unfortunately but I still love it.

Plus, Svelte was rated the most-loved framework in the StackOverflow developer survey this year: https://www.infoworld.com/article/3628231/developers-love-ru...

Looks interesting but it says it's unstable. Do you have to write the backend in TS/JS?
Yep! As I said, not quite a 1.0 release but a bunch of people are using it in production.

And yeah, I think if you want to use SvelteKit the endpoints need to be in something that compiles to JS — not 100% sure.

But it's quite possible to hook Svelte itself into any stack you want. SvelteKit is the bundling up of a bunch of nice defaults whereas Svelte is completely stack agnostic.

I’m currently using SvelteKit linked to a go backend. You don’t have to use any of the backend capabilities of SvelteKit if you don’t want to. It’s great to work with.
