What server-side language/framework do you recommend for toy projects in 2023?

It's been a while since I started a project entirely from scratch. I'm looking to build a simple toy web project or two, and am looking for a language/framework combination that won't require a ton of overhead to set up.

Ideally looking for something that has minimal build configuration and is easy to google for help on, or at least where the build configuration is easy to manage as I might drop/pick up projects over time. For context I was an experienced developer but haven't done hardcore coding in several years due to a career change.

What sorts of languages and frameworks would you recommend today?
