I spent a lot of effort choosing what tech to use. I considered the many options

C++ and standard library.

while socket programming is fun, i knew this would slow me down when working with new features

python django

this framework is very heavy and "batteries-included". that would stop me from working on a lot of features that would be useful to me.

python flask

feels outdated and only supports WSGI.

i used Starlette a simple ASGI framework.
