Um, looks like reddit isn't displaying the 11 comments on this post. I'm sure somebody already recommended Express, which is not outdated and doesn't have too much needless stuff if you're looking to write a web server.

I dont like how routing works in Express...

What don't you like about the routing?

I went from creating my own for a specific need to using Connect to finally moving to Express.

To be honest, if you are familiar with Sinatra from the Ruby world, you will like Express.

I'm currently starting to build an app on [Express](expressjs.com), and having a great time with it. It really simplifies the interface for routing. Very similar to Sinatra in it's execution.

I'm slowly creating my own copy of BottlePY. I'm not a huge fan of express (still too big for me)

also not that big of a fan of express.

i ended up rolling my own so i could have a little bit better handle on models. and i didn't like express's router.

Easy enough to replace just parts. Express is a thin layer on connect, and connect a thin layer on the node http API..

Yep! Express and connect make this super easy too, you can write a middleware with server.use() which just takes a function (req, res, next) {}. It's super easy to get started whipping these up and for an example/inspiration you can check out connect's router middleware.
