Ask HN: Fun Language for Small Webserver?

1 points by tardygrade 5y ago ↗ HN

I'm thinking of starting a small web-based project. What are fun languages to do it in? I'm looking for something instructive, but preferably with sufficient library support so that I don't have to write networking libraries or database clients from scratch.

Python with aiohttp, particularly with web sockets.

It depends on what your needs are, but you're probably best off going with Python. If you don't need things like websockets, then Flask is really easy to get into.
