Let's say we don't care about the backend<>frontend interconnection we see in most JS frameworks. We just want to program the backend. What would be the language of your choice?

You're asking about the backend only, separated from the fronted? The fronted will be HTML only, but independent of the backend anyway?

Doesn't that mean you're introducing another interface and a need for another backend for the HTML frontend generating?

If it's independent, why does the frontend intention matter?

My first choice/exploration would be C#/.NET.

I just ment that there will be nothing special being done there. Server would just send the result in plan HTML, that would be used and styled as a widget in something else later.
