That’s why I use Rails for work. But I also had to write a small Nodejs project (vite/react + express) recently for a private project, and it has a lot of nice things going for it that make modern frontend dev really easy - but boy is it time consuming to set up the basics.

I can't imagine having nice things to say about node after working in Rails. Rails does so much for you, provides a coherent picture of how things work. Node gives you nothing but the most irritating programming tools around

I thought node was great until I had to upgrade some projects, and then realizing that those frameworks maintainers never maintain their dependencies. While in the C world, lot of projects treat warnings as errors.
