Wild, this 5.0 release has been cooking since 2014: <a href="https://github.com/expressjs/express/blob/5.x/History.md#500-alpha1--2014-11-06">https://github.com/expressjs/express/blob/5.x/History.md#500...</a><p>That’s also the full 5.0 change log so far for anyone interested.
I can't believe it finally happened, 10 years later. Congratulations to the team for finally finishing.<p>In the meantime I've gotten so sick of js-isms i jumped ship and no longer want to touch it. Server-side nodejs libraries have always felt less mature and more prone to excessive complexity than their counterparts.<p>Python+sqlalchemy+sanic/other lightweight HTTP server is just so much more comfortable to me nowadays. Much less performant, though, but a painless development experience that lets me focus on the task at hand just feels better.<p>Maybe I'll port some of my legacy nodejs stuff to express 5 for fun.
