A server-side lightweight Web Framework similar to Express but with modern features
Hono is a modern and powerful JavaScript server framework.
I like it in particular because it’s lightweight and is very similar to how Express works, so I can reuse the mental models I already know, but it has better support for promises and async/await, and also allows us to easily use JSX, something I really like to built templates instead of EJS or Pug or Handlebars or whatever server-side template engine you might use in Express.
Let’s find out how to use it.

Are you intimidated by Git? Can’t figure out
merge vs rebase? Are you afraid of screwing up
something any time you have to do something in
Git? Do you rely on ChatGPT or random people’s
answer on StackOverflow to fix your problems?
Your coworkers are tired of explaining Git to
