Hey everyone! I'm a first-year computer science student exploring different backend frameworks. I'd love to know what frameworks you're using in 2025 and what made you choose them. Are there specific ones you think are worth learning this year? I want to invest my time wisely, especially for building modern web applications that perform well. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Go is fantastic for serverless applications, and the performance is impressive. I love using it for high-performance web apps. But really, just find a framework you enjoy and master it! It’s more about learning to learn than just the tech itself.
Absolutely! Confidence in learning is key!
.NET Core is my go-to. It’s practical and pays my bills!
Yep, that’s a solid choice for getting jobs!
Do you work on Linux or Windows?
I mainly stick to Golang with no frameworks. I just use routers when needed. It’s lightweight and efficient!
Spring Boot seems to be the backbone for many big companies where I’m at. Java is viewed as ‘boring,’ but it gets the job done, especially in large corporate environments.
Big Business loves its boring tech!
Is that true for the East Coast too?
TypeScript full stack has been great for me. I recommend starting with Next.js for ease of use. I also play around with my own express setup.
Thanks for the tip! I’ll check Next.js out.
I’m currently using Ruby on Rails. It really cuts down on decision fatigue because it handles so many of the choices for you, which I love. I do wish Ruby had a bit more popularity though; I sometimes feel like I should have learned Python or Go instead.
Totally get that! I've heard Django for Python is a solid alternative to Rails.
I've had a similar Rails experience and completely understand the appeal.
Agreed! Learning the fundamentals helps long term.
