GPT on Question 31, Sep 23

Which JavaScript framework should I start a new project with today?

Default recommendation: Next.js with TypeScript.

Choose it for a typical production web app because it offers:

  • •A large React ecosystem and hiring pool
  • •Server rendering, static generation, routing, and API endpoints
  • •Strong hosting and tooling support
  • •Flexibility to scale from a small site to a full-stack application

Choose something else when the project points clearly toward it:

Project typeRecommended choice
Client-only SPA or internal dashboardReact + Vite
Prefer simpler, approachable developmentVue + Nuxt
Small team prioritizing concise, modern codeSvelteKit
Content-heavy site, blog, or documentationAstro
Large enterprise team needing strict conventionsAngular
Simple static pagePlain HTML/CSS/JavaScript

If you have no special constraints, use Next.js + TypeScript, add as few dependencies as possible, and avoid adopting advanced server features until the application actually needs them.
