  Does anyone use the Nim language for web development, and which language is the most commonly used for backend development?

  I used Prologue for backend and Karax-Karkas-Kraut for frontend.

  People say good things about Mummy so I would give it a shot.

  We use Mummy in production for backend. Just good ol' fashion Nim-produced js for front-end, no js framework.

  What is Karax-Karkas-Kraut again?

  What is Karax-Karkas-Kraut again?

  It's a combo of Karax, Karkas, and Kraut.

  Karax is... OK, just kidding :-)

  Karkas is a flexbox-driven library that helps with layouting and components in Karax.

  Kraut is a library that helps with frontend routing. It provides helpers that allow to work with routes and params instead of a raw hashpart string.

  I did a talk about those on a NimnConf.

  I use Guildenstern on the backend, and tend to use nim SCF for the front end "templates", and vanilla js when needed. Mummy is also good, if you don't need chunked multipart upload for large files.
