Move away from express

[bdotsamir]

Ideally I'd like to stop using express. It was really built for a node ecosystem that has grown far beyond what express tries to accomplish. For starters, most of its functionality relies on the existence of overflows, which while is valid is not very good practice as it leads to some unintended problems later on.

Instead, let's use Fastify.

god, i'd love to move away from express. it's so weird to use with all the middleware fuckery it implements

literally what. exactly in the hell does this mean. all i know is it's (probably?) important for whatever reason (???????)

and then quite literally point 1 from that screenshot

it's not intuitive at all i absolutely hate it

really the only reason ive been using it is because its the only thing i know how to use, and it... "works."
