I'm familiar with Jester and Karax - I built a few internal tools at $DAY_JOB 
using Jester. Karax never really clicked for me sadly, but the DOM manipulation 
sublibrary it has is nice. But honestly I've been trying to move stuff over to 
mummy (<https://github.com/guzba/mummy>) which I think is currently the best 
webserver in Nim.

I haven't directly used HappyX though I've been following it, and while I think 
it is doing some great stuff and I'd love to see it evolve, I think it is 
trying to "catch up" to other web frameworks, but do it in Nim, instead of 
being the 10x improvement that will get people to switch from their existing 
tools to Nim.

The reason I made this post is because I just spent some time over the last few 
days getting to know Leptos in Rust, and I felt like I could see the vision for 
how it could become a next generation web framework. But the more I thought 
about it, the more I felt that Nim is in a better position to get us there, 
rather than Rust. Hence this post.

I think the existing Nim story on the backend is serviceable, but the frontend 
story is limited to Karax (which I know was made by Araq) but doesn't have 
signals or the nice server function abstractions that Leptos has.

Pardon the rambling
