alt Hacker NewsNot OP; but when I was thinking about using Next.JS, and doing a deep investigation, I came to the decision that, for server-side rendering, I'm quite happy to use Kotlin and Ktor (my backend is also Kotlin - I have a lot of client-types, which is why they're separate), and I've been quite happy with Ktor's html dsl + htmx for speed.
And Kotlin + Ktor feels very good to write in on serverside. Fast, easy and fluent to write in, like Ruby; but with Java's ecosystem, speed and types.
How are you doing reusable components with the html dsl? From the little bit I’ve tried ktor this was something I could not figure out and it kinda just pushed me away since I couldn’t find anything.
