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.
Syntax wise, JS, specially TS has a great syntax and go is much weirder. I don’t care what the haters say. JS syntax is very understandable. And you can see why Rust has borrowed a lot of syntax from TS and JS.
And I think knowing js is much more useful,but if you want to build big backends with good performance, go is better.
