What languages are DNMs and sites like dread programmed in? : programming | Torhoo darknet markets

Currently going through a full-stack development course using a language like javascript for site functionality. Since many sites such as this look good and have functionality, I was wondering what languages they are built with. My first guess is something like Ruby, but I'm unsure. Are there any frameworks used?
Search and you will find.

We also heavily use rust as well now.

Does Dread use Rust for routing and template/component rendering or is it primarily reserved for micro-services such as captcha generation. I assume when you said you use Lua, you meant in OpenResty? Do you handle session management in this or is this task delegated to the webserver that handles routes.
Rust is used all over the place. Mostly in the new projects we are building out. Connection points between different cluster nodes and the associated routing processes for a lot of the back end data sharing/replication is all done with rust. Almost all systems that can not go down or fail, causing a lot of headache for me, is in rust. The main dread back end is built with PHP and we won't be changing over to rust on the rewrite for that.

Dread uses a custom version of /d/endgame that mainly OpenResty lua. Rust is with the captcha (as released in the public version). We use Redis for a lot of the session management stuff.

Most Darknet markets seem to be PHP from my knowledge. Most (if not all) of the scripted/zero effort markets are PHP too. Ruby on Rails would work for a darknet site/market.

If you are learning Javascript and want to take a shot at creating a darknet site also in Javascript, you should look into SSR (Server-side Rendering) frameworks. I'd recommend NextJS because you can render the entire site SSR and you don't have to 'hydrate' the page with client-side Javascript.

Most TOR sides use PHP as server-side technology with MYSQL as a database.
I recommend only using up to date maintained frameworks and libraries.

Also don't use JS on TOR sites, TOR browsers are usually configured to block all JS.

You can use whatever you god damn want. So long as your programming language has the capability of processing HTTP requests and returning responses, it can be used to write any web application you want, even a dark net market or a forum like Dread :-)
