Well, this is how things are in Java ecosystem. Netty & Jetty are pretty standard web servers in our world. There are multiple json libs, so you have to choose one, etc. If you have to make a server with ktor, you might need to learn this world. I think if I come to develop something in express.js, I would need to learn a lot too.

Luis, middleware is a term that many in the JavaScript community took on but honestly isn’t the best way to describe what exactly it is. Other technologies, such as .NET use the term filter. Interceptor is something I originally used in Wasabi (where Ktor is somewhat influenced by) and I believe it more accurately describes what it does -> Intercept a request and a response.
