What is the best framework/language to build webapps as fast as possible?

3 points by deniswsrosa 6y ago ↗ HN

I had some really good experience with groovy/grails in the past. I really like how the language is simple and how it could quickly generate the front end for simple CRUD apps. Are there other better options nowadays?

I have written something to help build web apps faster - but it's not really a framework it's kind of like "WordPress for web apps". WordPress provides an interface for users and a CMS so you focus on your blog posts.

With my software all the user accounts, organizations, subscriptions, a complete Stripe Connect platform, all the stuff that accompanies a web app or SaaS is ready for your web app, which you can write in any stack and it's going to be much smaller without those things.

I came here to tell you that I have wonderful memories of groovy+grails. I used it at version 1.3.7 IIRC.

Last time I tried, version 3.something, gradle was in the middle and things that used to be simple had become complicated.

So... Dunno.

I'd probably invest time in Django.
