The fad is over. I'm sick of Node.js...

...but I don't want to go  back to LAMP. I need to explore further. I've already tried Django and I like it even less than Node.js because it's too fucking bloated. I don't like Node.js because I don't want to build everything with freaking JS and callbacks.

So what's next? What's a sane alternative that is lightweight, simple in design and usage, yes fairly well supported and well documented?

So much fucking shit, so much transphobia, cissexism, and generally bad programming. I fucking hate this site, and everyday my hate grows deeper.
