What should I use instead of #Express and #Handlebars for a web application in Node.js in 2023? Can someone summarise pros and cons of the most popular alternatives? I see way too many…

Alternatives to #Express:
Koa, which can either replace or complement both Express and Connect.
Fastify, which looks straightforward and very similar to Express. Plugin for templating (supporting Handlebars, Mustache, Pug and EJS): @fastify/view.
NestJS, which seems too convoluted and probably redundant since it works on top of either Express or Fastify (?).
Meteor: more of a platform. No tutorial for vanilla JS (only for React, Vue, etc), and not oriented towards SSR.
I’ll probably go for #Koa or #Fastify.
#JS #JavaScript 
#Node.js #Node
@tripu I don't know which project you have in mind, but I would very much would like to do something with Django and htmx (https://htmx.org/) or unpoly (https://unpoly.com/).
