The Core Differences Between Koa and Express

A bit of background:
I recently got assigned a feature to build on a Koa backend at work. Most of my day-to-day work is on the frontend, but I'd used Express a little as a student. Since both are well-known Node.js web frameworks, the code didn't feel entirely unfamiliar. They have plenty in common, but working with Koa showed me just how different their design choices and day-to-day experience can be.
