Rust

I want to try out backend development by making a somewhat simple finance tracker web app and intend to use PostgreSQL, but I have very little knowledge of the area and would like to know which language and accompanying framework would be best suited.

My preferences would be between Kotlin (I already know Java) and Golang or TypeScript, but other recommendations are welcome.

I also know a bit of Rust from doing Advent of Code with it, but I would instead use something easier for now.

Should I start with web development or DevOps?

And which of the 3 I should learn first Golang, TypeScript, or Rust? I want to land a junior-level job in 10 months.

Hi Guys, If you were to learn one of these languages for backend development: Golang, Python or TypeScript/Node.js, which one would you choose? Should meet the following criteria: - Focus on web application development. - Be stable for the next 10 years. - Good for microservices (compete with Java Spring Boot). - Production ready for now and not in the future. (Like Rust) - Have good ecosystems, i.e. libraries, testing, CLI, framework and good deployment options. - Good language features. I'm not interested in ML/AI, Data Science or DevOps.

Hello!

I'm a developer for over 9 years, and most of this time I've been working with C# and it is paying my bills until nowadays. But I'm seeking to learn other languages and expand the possibilities for the next years.

Now the question... I know Ruby is far from dead but is it still worth investing time in learning it? Or would be better to take Python, Golang, or even Rust? Or maybe another language.

Thanks in advance.

I intend to use a programming language which I'll use as AWS runtime and write a script that will comb through tons of files in a directory and its subdirectories and search for simple text regular expressions and process and write the matches in a file as output. I have heard that Perl is good for regex based search but I also want the performance to be good as it will have to go through tons of files for IO. In this post: https://filia-aleks.medium.com/aws-lambda-battle-2021-performance-comparison-for-all-languages-c1b441005fd1, I see that Rust works well as AWS Lambda runtime with very good performance. Which one should I choose as my AWS lambda runtime for this problem? Golang is also an option as it is fast as per the above link.

I would choose Next.js / Nuxt.js or SvelteKit as they're implemented to support the backend that manages cookies/sessions/API/reactive components and props.

The good thing about them is that if ever your app grows with a ton of traffic, you can easily migrate your SSR app and use other programming languages such as Golang or Rust to serve the API.

NestJS is only used for the backend side, however, the backend side of this is already offered from these big 3 (Next/Nuxt/SvelteKit), as these 3 major SSR Frameworks were able to connect from RDB / MongoDB / GraphQL / 3rd Party APIs, you name it!

Regarding websocket / service-worker (PWA) / wasm, those big 3 can do it too

TL;DR: NodeJS is so big, don't complicate your life, make a single route to handle the frontend and backend, migrating to performant environment such as Go/Rust can be done over an api call inside those big 3 Next/Nuxt/SvelteKit.
