Genie.jl is an even bolder effort, but it’s also not ready for production, and I’m not sure its approach makes sense here. I think you want a bare-bones API back-end that handles the Julia bit, then do everything else in a normal front-end framework like Angular, React or similar. For the back end you could definitely do it in [HttpServer.jl](https://github.com/JuliaWeb/HttpServer.jl) or [Mux.jl](https://github.com/JuliaWeb/Mux.jl), but I don’t know how they scale. You coul…

I would like to know your opinion about Escher.jl and Genie.jl (or other pure Julia solution) if they are ready now…

Or would you still prefer Angular and if yes then why? Thanks! 🙂
