Choice of back-end framework?

Question

Node.js

I am faced with the choice of a back-end framework for Node.js. Since the main tool for me is Node, I decided to write back-end on express, but as you know, tj holowaychuk, the creator of this framework left the community and switched to Go (I also consider it as a candidate for the server part, but I know it at an average level). Will express continue to develop or start on something new like meteor, koa (uses JS Generator and Node --harmony, it is still unknown who wrote something on it), hapi.

Answer 1

Express will not die just because of the audience that has formed around it. I am for express

Answer 2

As far as I know expressjs has been taken over by StrongLoop. Since their core product, Loopback, is all about express, I wouldn't worry about its future.
Strongloop itself is an experienced development team working on the "Node core" as well. I have the pleasure of interacting with them on the node-inspector project.
By the way, I would not recommend that you use pure express if you are going to do something big. Express is still a library, not a framework.
In response to your question, I would recommend just Loopback.

Answer 3

If the application will read / write to the database, it needs to display forms, lists, it needs to implement authentication and authorization, then you can try AllcountJS . It is a framework for rapid application development. Uses express, mongoose, angularjs, twitter bootstrap. Saves time at the start. Much allows you to customize if necessary.
