I don’t love js/ts but Astro is so nice. Don’t have to fiddle with react or graphql. Just upgraded to 5 beta and nothing broke. Really well managed project. Oh, and page load speed is insane.


If you don't love js/ts maybe you'd like Civet, which transpiles to js/ts and has Astro integration. (No relationship, I've just been looking at it myself.)

This does look nice (as a functional programmer - Elixir, elm, etc and fan of coffeescript back before modern js). Even has pipes!


transpiling to JS that has if, if else structures instead of just early return if makes me not trust it (based on first "pattern matching" example on civet.dev site). I guess I have my prejudices.


Yeah they really nailed the developer experience. There is very little magic to it.
