This gave me a pleasant shock. I'd forgotten that Express has been around for 13 years now. It was considered a super shoddy, pretend-programmer piece of junk by many when it first arrived (largely by virtue of being written in JavaScript). Since then I've helped a lot of companies build cool stuff that made real money with it. It's probably serving a crazy number of requests these days.

I write a lot of things with Go now instead, but I'm still totally content to build things with Express. It's good software, generally speaking.
