A Javascript backend is better focus than one usually sees. There are also quite a few web dev projects in the nimbleverse, and https://forum.nim-lang.org is written in Nim and there is much support code in the Nim stdlib.

Frameworks/simplifications are better left to the broader community that knows their own web-needs. It took many years for things like Django for Python or Rails for Ruby to appear. Even now, those are not part of the respective core languages, but external projects.

Anyway, it's open source. Instead of just wishing for more effort, adding your own effort might be even better! :-)

This! Nim has shown it has capable JS support and web support, but it can't do everything on it's own. There are web frameworks popping up but they need more contributors to them. But one can get far right now with Nim and web development.

Agreed that there is room for improvement, but the Nim community is working on some promising web projects. Prologue framework, Norm (orm), and Karax (FE framework) are all great examples of how Nim can excel in the web environment.

What do you currently feel is missing for web development? I'm using Karax on a few projects and I really like it
