Go
Preferred language for building performant, concurrent backend APIs with simple deployment and strong containerization support.
Go is my default choice when building backend systems from scratch: it combines static typing, lightweight concurrency via goroutines and channels, and single static binaries that make containerization and deployment straightforward.
In the WASAText project, I used Go following Clean Architecture principles. This experience showed me that, although Go can feel verbose and lead to a significant amount of boilerplate, a well-structured architectural approach pays off in terms of maintainability, modularity, and long-term code clarity.
The initial overhead in structuring the codebase is largely compensated by improved separation of concerns and easier evolution of the system over time.
