Hey everyone! I'm a software engineer with experience in J2EE, Struts2, and Oracle back in the day. I'm looking to create a simple web page that connects to a database and includes payment options. I've heard about the MERN stack, but I'd love to get your recommendations on what might work best for my needs. Thanks for your input!

I’d recommend using Laravel with the Cashier package. It's straightforward to set up and perfect for handling payments, plus you can easily connect it to your database.
Ruby on Rails is another solid choice! It's been a go-to for a long time and works great for connecting to databases and displaying web pages easily.
I’m currently using Angular at my job and it's been great for building web apps! Might be worth checking out, especially if you're into front-end frameworks!
How about React with TypeScript or JavaScript and .NET Core? You can use Tailwind for styling and MySQL or Postgres for the database. If you're focused on SEO, consider using NextJS for your project.
A lot of modern developers are getting into compiling BrainFuck via WASM for creating super efficient logic modules for SPAs and PWAs. It's a bit niche, but it could lead to some amazing performance boosts for your web app! Just an idea!

Interesting suggestion, but do you think that is practical for someone looking to just set up a simple site?
For your needs, connecting to a database and showing a web page is right up Rails' alley!
