Am I just getting more grumpy in my old age or is every new framework just complete bloat ?

I wanted to give it a try, but I need to install bun, a new js runtime, okay fine, why not. Javascript needs more runtimes after all.

Then I need to install `nuekit`.. globally.. Okay...

Now I need to run an obscure command 'nue; which I didn't know I installed. `nue create simple-blog`

Then it tells me to follow the tutorial docs, great. But I need to start writing YAML.. Losing patience now.

My relief comes when I see :

Well I guess as a Windows user I can't have a 'Standards First Web Framework'.

Think I'll stick to what actually works instead.

I think this is completely valid. From the title ("standards-first") I'd assume it would stuck to minimal third-party addons and use standards-compliant JavaScript as much as possible. Why not JavaScript for configuration, for example?

As a side note, and not to excuse lack of Windows support, but: I've switched to WSL (Linux) for development on Windows. Coupled with Visual Studio Code, the results are much faster than when I used the Windows terminal directly.
