I think for a simple website, especially one with spartenweb or zero JS principles, a language with an architecture like PHP or ASP/ASPX fits well, where you just write HTML and server side code in the same file, and you navigate to that file from your URL to load it. For example, wwwroot/path/to/page.php on the server corresponds to https://example.com/path/to/page.php

Problem is, both PHP and ASP are pretty terrible languages, and ASP(X) has the additional dealbreaker of not being open source and only running on Windows servers, so I don’t really want to use any of them (I’ve tried all three), so are there any better web languages or web frameworks that does something similar?

    check out dioxus, it’s very similar to react, but uses rust instead or js, it also uses a JSX-like syntax, and although there isn’t an automatic direct mapping between files and webpages, they give a router with which you can easily make it work that way 🤷‍♀️
