True, the closest thing i like in the node.js backend world is nestjs. It’s a solid framework for building apis, but as an mvp framework, it’s not quite on the same level as laravel, rails, or phoenix.

Nestjs is popular so there must be something to it. The problem is the complexity. Once you get a certain amount of complexity and meta programming in js you get significant slowdowns. Abstractions are expensive. Also the decorators and DI are weird
That’s true. As the app grows, having many pages can become difficult to manage, especially with JS backends.
