Nim is very nicel Not that it matters much in most cases, but the compiled binary sizes are also quite low compared to Rust.

Do you ever regret choosing "coffeescripter" as your handle? I loved CS and contributed to the CoffeeScript Redux compiler but the language is definitely pretty hated these days...

Exactly. React is a fairly simple library that can play well with other libraries, including on the server-side. Angular and Ember are complex frameworks.

There should be at least one storage technology on this list. Redis? MongoDB? PostgreSQL? Riak? Cassandra?

Redis is right in the center, just below backbone.js.

I think the weird one is "Go". I don't see a lot of people using Go for anything, let alone web stuff.

Oh, in his defence, I just added that.

That's fair about Go. The last 3 were a bit random, I was just trying to get a bit more variety in there beyond the more mainstream stuff. I realise that Go isn't really used by anyone, but it has had a bit of airtime simply due to it being a Google tech (not to mention the authors). I guess I mean hottest in the sense of most interesting to people.

Yeah, good point. Personally I use Redis so I am tempted to add it just because I'll have something to say about it. Although my gut tells me that Mongo might be the 'hot' technology---seems to be popping up a lot of late.

Better put that on the list with all the other gut feeling..
