Yes, I'm talking about the consensus web development framework around Node, to the extent that there is any. Same for Go and Haskell. Obviously all three are mature languages.


The Go community is just not that big into web development. There are web frameworks (eg. Revel) but they're not seeing that much traction. I truly love Go but I just don't think it's a good building material for more than a JSON API - for which it is awesome BTW.

Can't speak about the Haskell community though. To the extent I know the language I probably wouldn't want to use it to create HTML forms, either.


Haskell has a healthy and growing web ecosystem, from larger frameworks like Yesod to leaner ones like Snap, Scotty, and Spock. Servant is also looking promising as toolkit for building both API servers and clients. And GHCJS lets you write your frontend code in Haskell as well, if you so choose.
