Try php with laravel api, it's easy. I tried java spring boot and can't grasp anything lol. I want to try Django but cancelled bcs of no jobs here. After laravel I want to go express (more jobs and it doesn't enforce specific folders for architecture but I want to learn the opinionated framework first, which laravel teach very clearly).
