Ask HN: Is it possible to compare JavaScript frameworks to e.g. Django or RoR?
I used Django for a long time for my personal projects until I realized what I like about Flask. Their design philosophies differ greatly and so do the JavaScript ones.
I'm aware that JavaScript in the browser adds another level of complexity, but is there a way to compare those frameworks to the ones found in other languages?
Which are the ones that allow choices, modularity? Which ones are opinionated and which even insist on things beeing done certain ways, like bringing their own template engines or module loaders?
I've been trough a lot of blogs, reading opinions and direct comparisons, but I haven't seen anyone approach it by saying "If you love Django you'll love X".
Is it just not possible?
