What is the best programming language for building an online services marketplace?

The appropriate programming language differs from developer to developer.

The main reasons to use Node.js and Angular to create a marketplace marketplace are the followings:

1. JavaScript can be used for both backend and frontend development.

2. It comes with a wide choice of libraries and modules for every feature, so we just choose the best one.

3. A lot of high-level professionals code on JavaScript so good community support and reduces vendor lock.

4. JavaScript websites launch extremely fast, so users have a better experience.

5. The main Angular developer is Google.

Using JavaScript is definitely more work but the payoff is in a better product and today users are sophisticated and demand a good experience or you lose them—fast.

You can build something like this using Wordpress, you’ll be limited to several things and you won’t have the freedom to change a lot.

Your other choice is to build a store from scratch, there are several options, you can have a look at Python’s Django, or PHP’s Laravel, or Ruby on Rails

I personally recommend Django, it’s powerful, easy, so simple, you won’t have to deal with databases, you code using Python “which is a pretty easy language”.

It will get what you want to be done in no time.

Django is easy to learn, the documentation is perfect, you can google for tutorials and books, there is a fairly big community on Facebook and StackOverFlow!

So good luck!
