Good day. I've been working on js+express.js for 3 months already. The thought arises: you need to try something new.
And this new one is coffeescript\ icedcoffeescript on the server side. But I want to hear advice about the framework and the database. Stay with express & mongo, or do you think there is a better replacement for one or the other? I don’t want a holivar, I just want to hear the opinions of people who may have found the coffee framework more convenient and pleasant :)
And it’s especially time to get rid of the mess in callbacks, how do you deal with it?
I will be grateful for the answers and advice)

koajs.com is a framework without callbacks. Works on es6 features like generators.
Try es6 - no coffee needed.

I really liked hapi, simple. reliable, fast. As for callbacks, it's asynchrony, you just cook them incorrectly if they interfere with you.

Unfortunately, holivars are inevitable....

Look towards Meteor

Try Volt - it's a full stack ruby framework. Ruby on the server and client side

I read not so long ago the manual on the meteor, the publication-subscription mechanism is quite interestingly implemented. When data between server and client is synchronized out of the box. But how will it lead in production - xs. I think that the project is young and needs time to polish. , but in general there are a lot of interesting chips.
There is also geddyjs.org , many people praise it for being similar in ideology to ruby, but I can’t say anything myself.
