Yeah, Go is probably the best general purpose language at the moment. Rust is great, but there's no need to manage memory manually if you don't need to. So for general mainstream languages, that leaves ... Python. Sure, it's ok but Go has strong typing from the start, not bolted on with warts. (I realized how incredibly subjective this comment turned out to be after I had written it. Apologies if I omitted or slighted your fave. This is pretty much how I see it). | ||
