NodeJS vs Go (lemmy.world)
submitted 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) by Asudox@lemmy.world to c/programming@programming.dev

I want to learn another programming language now that I've been using Python for over 2 years now. I am kind of leaning on learning JS so that I can use it for the backend and also for the frontend. But the syntax is kind of weird. I heard Go is pretty good for the backend and also is compiled. What do y'all say? I also welcome other language recommendations.

You can try C# and see if you like it. You can do frontend in it as well, but C# isn't as popular on frontend as JS, so it will be harder to get a job as frontend dev. But on the backend C#/.NET is the best choice for me.
