Goddamnit, the JavaScript ecosystem needs its own Visual Basic. Something that comes with everything you need to build and deploy a basic, but functional, real-world application.
* Any dependencies need to be installed to build a real world (server + UI or API) application = non-starter.
* Any shell commands needed to write, build, or deploy the app in a container = non-starter.
* Any code necessary to lay out the UI (including HTML, CSS) = non-starter.
I haven't kept abreast with the Microsoft ecosystem. Does Visual Studio have something like this for Node apps? Is ASP still a thing for C#?
Exactly, front end coders are very design driven (obviously) so they often value "ooh the shinies" brand new framework, etc over "let's engineer this correctly" battle tested not so shiny code.
