Why I'll choose Astro (almost) every time in 2024

Learn Astro: https://astro.party — Astro has become my JavaScript framework of choice for web projects going into 2024. I always found myself struggling with feeling like I had a whole bunch of complexity I didn't need with frameworks like Next.js, but not enough power or flexibility with pure static site generators like Hugo. Astro's "just in time" approach to handling dynamic web apps — from a singly dynamic component to full-blown server-side rendering — has me convinced that it's the right default choice for most new web projects today.
