On hobby coding it is definitely fun as always.

PHP, ASP.NET or Spring/Quarkus, with just enough JavaScript, no npm, no builders, nothing.

Likewise with WebGL or WebGPU, direct src includes, no build.

AspNetCore w/ absolute minimal usage of the abstractions has been my favorite web development experience by miles. Things like MVC and *.cshtml are really powerful but I find basics like PHP-style string interpolation to be way more intuitive and ergonomic.

All of my web resources have code like:

  httpContext.Response.WriteAsync(Layout(... inner HTML content ...));
Form submissions are super trivial to work with too. Covers 99% of my use cases. Every time I think I need something like web sockets, I can usually wiggle my way out of it with some kind of rearranging of the problem.

I adore C# and .NET Core.

But 0s feedback loops from the likes of PHP and Bun+TypeScript spoiled me.

It's like a drug I can't get enough of.
