Let’s say we don’t care about the backendfrontend interconnection we see in most JS frameworks. We just want to program the backend. What would be the language of your choice?
Whatever language you chose you might want to also look at the htmx JS library. It lets you write in your html snippets better interactivity without actually needing to write JS. It basically lets you do things like when you click on an element, it can make a request to your server and replace some other element with the contents your server responds with - all with attributes on HTML tags instead of writing JS. This lets you keep all the state on the backend and lets you write more backend logic without only relying on full page refreshes to update small sections of the page.
For a backend language I would use rust as that is what I am most familiar with now and enjoy using the most. Most languages are adequate at serving backend code though so it is hard to go wrong with anything that you enjoy using. Though with rust I tend to find I have fewer issues when I deploy something as appose to other languages which can cause all sorts of runtime errors as they let you ignore the error paths by default.
#introduction post: Hi everyone, welcome to my profile. I'm interested in technology, socializing with others, and more! If you would like a follow from me, please have a bio.
I'm Thang and I'm a 26-year-old software engineer from Vietnam.
👍 What I'm good at: #Ruby, #Javascript
📝 What I'm learning: #Rust, #AWS, #Terraform
🔜 What I'm planning to learn in the near future: Qt6 with C++ or Python (to overcome my Electron addiction)
Hello World! Firefly Zero is an in-development handheld game console that runs #wasm and supports #BLE multiplayer. It is written by @orsinium in #Rust, runs on #ESP32, and will be fully open source (both software and hardware).
We already have a working desktop emulator and are getting a Rust and #golang SDK ready for alpha testing. Sounds fun? Stay tuned!
Hewwo, I'm Luna! :nkoLove: and am new to Fediverse. I'm a housecat-fox hybrid #furry :blobcat_nwn: :collar: :blobcatpats:. You can just call me Luna or Floof.
I'm a #trans#nonbinary :heart_transgender: and my pronouns are she/they/it.
I also find smol animals like cats, domesticated rats, pigeons and guinea pigs to be super adorable :ablobcathappypaws:.
My hobbies are #programming#haskell, #rust and #python casually :blobfoxcomputer: and playing Stardew Valley, Skyrim, CDDA and Widelands. Occasionally I read epic fantasy, romantic or horror novels whenever I feel cozy :blabcat:. My knowledge in these aren't deep though :blobcatgiggle:.
I mostly will be using Fediverse to share about my own journey on programming, sharing (boosting?) furry or cute arts and my own random (cat? meow?) thoughts in general.
On that note, I refrain from sharing suggestive content on my page and whenever I do, they will be tagged & marked with NSFW content warnings.
#introduction I’m 64, male, a disability pensioner. I’m recovering, very slowly, from spinal surgery that was required after I suddenly became paralysed from the waist down.
A former: union rep; Work For The Dole Supervisor; website creator; Project Jonah Brisbane member (I brake for whales 🥸)
I live in the Macedon Ranges in Victoria with my wife & a few alpacas.
Shalom! Hi dear ones, I'm just a friendly goy joining from Honduras, Central America. I work in mental health and psychosocial support for an international humanitarian organization. I'm a queer activist, a Friend (Quaker), and I strive to be an ally to all peoples. #introduction
My advisor advises I'm to do an #introduction post. My bio spells it out, but in short (I'm not THAT short) I'm your average geeky queer (bi) guy in Ottawa enjoying an unexpected renaissance on the cusp of 50. I will definitely post too many photos of my best friend/non-biological son/cat named Mack. Probably also go on and on about bands and TV shows and movies and the art form that is Spotify playlist sequencing. I send a lot of postcards and am newly obsessed with exercise. Insufferable. Hi!
Bonjour le fediverse !
Je réactualise mon #introduction :
Je m'appelle Max, j'ai 20 ans et je suis étudiant en #communication. Je partage pas mal de choses sur ce compte : lié à la #Politique, aux #media, au #numerique, à la #musique, à ce qu'il se passe en #bretagne et à #rennes ! Je partage souvent des musiques que j'aime bien et j'écris aussi des petits textes (#poésie, réflexions, anecdotes...).
Je suis par ailleurs musicien, blogueur (occasionnellement) et aussi pas mal gay.
Au plaisir d'échanger avec vous ! :blob_wolf_reach:
I'm Samantha E Xavia, a Trans Woman from Southampton, England. I run my own Instance for my local area 'southampton.social' and am a cofounder of @transpride for Southampton.
I've created videos for over 10 years and now run a Video Editing company @vexdotblue
More info about me will be linked to this one as a Thread, so feel free to read more about me.
#introduction I'm an enthusiastic R user, freelance scientific software developer, author of {workflowr}, and co-organizer of the Cleveland R User Group. I'm here for the #RStats discussion and am excited to join the community
I’m a husband, a father of two, an open web enthusiast, free speech advocate, and writer. I work as a Happiness Engineer at Automattic — supporting Day One, Pocket Casts, Simplenote, Texts, Gravatar, and more.
I discuss pop punk music, Apple products, the web, and other geek-related topics.
We are an open-source website and database collecting information about roll-call votes in the #EP (European Parliament).
We believe that the voting behavior of #MEPs is of special interest to the public. While most votes inside the EP are roll-call votes, finding information about and the results of votes can be complicated. This is even more true for the large body of casual citizens to whom the MEPs are accountable.
While we initially launched the website in 2021 with funding from @PrototypeFund, we recently launched a complete rewrite that ironed out a lot of inconveniences and took occasion to finally join here.
Some background info on the project can be found in this video (in German):
Outside of that, I'm a New England-based software engineer by day. I'm also big into #boardgames , and got bitten by the #pickleball bug about two years ago.
I'm also big into various forms of #rock , from melodic death all the way to indie rock. But post-rock/metal and dream pop especially.
If you were to create a Fediverse server, with frontend being plan simple HTML only, what programming language and stack would you choose?
