“Hey, huge fan and user of photopea. You are not far behind the VLC guy, u/jbk in my personal world view :) If I may ask, if you were to do this all over again in 2024 - 2026, would you choose SSR?”

“I wonder what the future of all three is mode bun and deno, their original goal has always been to be able to code in one language across frontend and backend, and typescript itself is a hell of a good language too. But now that people seldom even look at the code, does it even matter? Our shared language now is English - across tests, frontend, backend, product briefs and design systems. I have written a crap ton of node code before, because I liked it, but now I do everything in specialized stacks where each tech is chosen to best fit its environment. Backend - use Go, frontend - react/svelte/custom ,game simulation code - C#. I just debate what would be best fit with an agent, do a few pilots to prove it and just go. Languages I’ve never coded in are super fast to execute - just insist on following best practice, modern conventions and do some spot checks against o(n) problems, architecture and parallelism - and it works, and vibe coded codebase with strict linting rules vastly outperforms fine tuned code in a shared language (node). I honestly don’t see a bright future for them, and tbh I was surprised at Claude’s migration _to_ bun - why not just make the jump to som”

There is a lack of a dedicated platform that not only helps developers choose the right programming language and technology stack for their projects but also addresses the long-term implications of their choices. Current competitors primarily focus on Q&A, coding lessons, or course offerings without providing a comprehensive decision-making framework or guidance tailored to individual project needs.
