Could you please discuss your favorite web frameworks and the features they

If you don't have a particular favorite, could you share the features that 
you'd like to see in web frameworks? 🎈

@termer, HappyX uses asynchttpserver, httpx and microasynchttpserver 🙂

HappyX have CLI that can build your JS file from 600+ Kb to 50-60 Kb ✌

HappyX have powerful routing/mounting system and it support request models (at 
moment only JSON body)

I can't say about ORC, but libraries `httpx` and `microasynchttpserver` support 
multithreading

btw in HappyX you can use it via `-d:httpx` and `-d:micro` 🙂

Thanks!

Open file at compile-time [JS backend]

[Qtless]

I'm trying open file in macro, but I got exception:


template/generic instantiation of `some` from here
Error: cannot 'importc' variable at compile time; fopen


Run

My Nim code:


import macros


macro some(): untyped =
  var f = open("some.txt")
  echo f.readAll()
  f.close()

some()


Run

HappyX web framework got a new sponsor

The following paragraph serves as an introduction to HappyX. You can skip it if 
you are already familiar with HappyX.

As you know, HappyX is a full-featured web framework written in Nim. It 
supports the development of single-page applications, server-side applications 
(e.g., RestAPI), and server-side rendering applications.

A few weeks ago, a Russian company (Popso AI) noticed HappyX. Now, HappyX is 
being used by this company as the main tool for developing a browser extension.

@matkuki, HappyX is stable for creating full-stack applications.

In examples folder you can see happyx website (that made with happyx). Also 
happyx website has playground, that also uses happyx for backend part 👀

HappyX for X programmers

[Qtless]

Hi guys, I have been interested in the concept of "Nim for X programmers" for a 
long time. And I would like to do the same for HappyX.

I am currently working on [HappyX for Karax 
programmers](https://hapticx.github.io/happyx/#/guide/hpx_for_karax).

I would like to hear from you guys the pros and cons of these two web 
frameworks.

And, if it doesn't bother you, tell me about the pros and cons of HappyX in 
comparison with other web frameworks (for example, FastAPI, Django, Vue, React, 
and so on).
