How is "Next.js" said aloud?
Next.js is said "Next J-S" or simply "Next" in context — "J" as "jay" and "S" as "ess." So "build it with Next J-S", "use Next for the frontend." The ".js" suffix is often dropped in speech just as "React" replaces "React.js." When the full name is needed, say "Next-jay-ess." Do not say "next-tee-jays" or fully pronounce the dot.

How is "Nuxt" (the Vue framework) pronounced?
Nuxt is pronounced "nuxt" /nʌkst/ — one syllable, the /ʌ/ vowel as in "cut," ending in the /kst/ consonant cluster, rhyming with "luxed." So "build with Nuxt," "a Nuxt application." It is named to echo "Next" but for the Vue ecosystem. Do not spell it out or add a second syllable. The "x" gives the /ks/ sound before the final /t/.
3 / 5
How is "Svelte" (the JavaScript framework) pronounced?
Svelte is pronounced "svelt" /svɛlt/ — one syllable, exactly like the English adjective "svelte" (meaning slim and elegant), rhyming with "felt" and "melt." So "build it with Svelte," "a Svelte component." Do not add a second syllable ("SVEL-tee") or stress a second part. It is a real English word used as the framework name.

How is "FastAPI" (the Python framework) said aloud?
FastAPI is said "Fast A-P-I" /fæst eɪ piː aɪ/ — the English word "fast" followed by the letters "A, P, I" (ay-pee-eye). So "build it with Fast-A-P-I", "a Fast-A-P-I route." The "API" part is always spelled out as three letters, just like when you say "A-P-I" alone. Do not blend it into "fast-a-pee" or mispronounce "API" as one word.

How is "Django" (the Python framework) pronounced?
Django is pronounced "JANG-oh" /ˈdʒæŋɡoʊ/ — the D is part of the "dj" digraph giving /dʒ/ (like "judge"), so the D is not silent but merges with J. Two syllables: "JANG" + "oh," stress on the first. Named after Django Reinhardt, the jazz guitarist, whose name is pronounced the same way. So "build it with JANG-oh." Do not separate "D" and "J" or say "DEE-jango."
