Ask HN: 2023 what would your tech stack be for a brand new project?

Large app - Ruby on Rails with Hotwire for FE and PostgreSQL for database.

Small App for fun - Golang and SQLite with as little external libs as possible.

Cli: Deno

Full stack: either rails or Remix + Prisma depending on how much CRUD I plan on doing.

The C programming language, regardless of the project

Kate or VS Code for the editor

Git for version control

Diet Coke for beverage

Genuine curiosity. How hard is it to creat web applications in C? It sounds appealing but I come from Ruby/Python/Js primarily and worry about how complex it would be to manage memory and all that?

Easy peasy - Just use CGI and never call free().

In all seriousness, I use to work on a large web app written in C and it was fine for CRUD, but I would never use it for a greenfield project when there are so many other options.

It's horrible
