just fucking use
Go

Your microservices are written in Node.js and crashing every 6 hours. Your Python API takes 3 seconds to respond. You're stuck in dependency hell with Rust, debugging lifetime errors at 3am.

Just fucking use Go.

"But error handling is verbose!" Oh, you mean explicit? Enjoy debugging your try-catch pyramid in production.

if err != nil {
    return err // Look at how simple I am
}
// vs
try {
    maybe()
} catch (whoKnows) {
    whatHappened(whoKnows)
    // ¯\_(ツ)_/¯s

Compiling...

"It compiles in 2 seconds."

Your Rust project is still compiling. Your Java project needs Maven to download half the internet. Your Node project is running npm install for the 47th time today because you breathed wrong.

Fine, you want alternatives?

Rust Great if you hate yourself and love the borrow checker.
Node.js Single threaded event loop goes brrrrr-crash.
Python Amazing for AI. Terrible for APIs. GIL says "Stop".
Java Actually decent, if you like writing AbstractSingletonProxyFactoryBean.

Just. Use. Go.
