Discussion on: Reflecting on a year with Node.js and why I should have stuck with Laravel

Hey Tyler, I completely get what you are saying. Actually I have very similar feeling. The only difference is, I have worked with Laravel for more than 5 years and now I am told to shift to Node. So, you can understand, it's even more hard for me.

Anyways, if you want then I would suggest you give Adonis JS a shot. It's a great Node based Framework with a lot of these things already there.

Yes, the framework is new and that's a risk. However, when doing something in node using completely own code - Adonis is still a good starting point I think.

Thank you for reading my post, Amitav.

You've convinced me: I'm going to give Adonis a real shot on a personal project. Version 5's TypeScript support is really compelling.

Yes, the ground up TypeScript support is very compelling. Also, the person who is behind the project is now full time on it. So, I am sure this is going to pick up a lot more.

Cheers and a very happy new year to you.
