Empathy [he/him]

Awesome, I’m looking for frameworks like this, thanks for sharing.

Rust, because I’m lazy and I want a compiler that helps me out. Performance is a pretty neat bonus.

I really like the word you used, code smell. I often have a hard time expressing to co-workers in code reviews why something feels off, it just does.

I’d honestly choose a similar stack for the back-end. I have limited experience with Rust, but my impressions so far is that it’s a language that allows you to make changes with confidence that they’ll work. I feel like starting something in Rust is somewhat difficult, but contributing is relatively simple.

For the front-end, I don’t think the choice is as important, since I think that by virtue of being federated and being able to have multiple front-ends, it would almost be better for the front-end to be managed by other parts of the community. And I say that as a primarily front-end/developer-experience dev.

I would probably default to React since I’m familiar with it and it’s very popular, but would probably be tempted to experiment with something better.
