This. After using Go, Nodejs (Express, Koa), PHP (Laravel), Java (Spring) and C# (Asp.Net Core), I realized that nothing beats me in productivity when I am using Spring or Asp.Net core when building a web app. Little things like form validation, route management, templating and a ton of little under the hood stuff are much much easier with older frameworks that have been around for a while.

Try Elixir + Phoenix ;) All the little things you've mentioned plus more (like good asset management out of box, super easy to use channels, migrations, clustering, deep system inspection etc)

Can you expand on how Spring or Asp.Net are better than Laravel with respect to form validation, route management and templating which are generally regarded as PHP's fote?

Laravel actually was great at form validation, route management and templating, probably one of the best, however performance is what made me move away from Laravel. With Spring and Asp.net Core, I got the best overall development experience compared to the other ones I mentioned.
