~nodeweekly | Issue 519 - Adonis v6 (9)

AdonisJS v6: The Complete Web Framework — If you want a TypeScript-first backend Web framework with amazing docs and packed with features out the box, Adonis is worth a look. v6 takes a huge step forward by using ESM by default, offering significantly more type safety overall (including for routes and middleware references), a new validation library, and more.
