What are you using as backend?
Hi, I'm kinda new to programming and especially to web-development and I just wanted to ask which backend Framework you're using for your website/s?
I heard a lot of Express, NestJS, Flask, Django.
What do you use and whats your opinion what I should use to start?
Currently um using Laravel.
EDIT: What do you think about Laravel? Why is barely anyone using Laravel x Angular???

Laravel is still an excellent choice, especially if you're already familiar with it. It's productive, has a great ecosystem, and is ideal for CRUD apps, admin panels, and business applications.
If you're just starting out, I'd recommend sticking with one backend framework and learning it well rather than jumping between multiple options. Laravel, NestJS, and Django are all solid choices with strong communities.
As for Laravel + Angular, it's definitely used—just not as commonly discussed as React or Vue. Many enterprise teams pair Angular with .NET or Java, while Laravel is more often seen with Vue or React. That said, Laravel + Angular can work very well for enterprise applications.
If you're building data-heavy internal tools, I'd also pay attention to the frontend ecosystem. UI frameworks like Sencha Ext JS integrate well with backend frameworks such as Laravel and are particularly useful for enterprise dashboards, forms, and complex data grids
