I have recently started learning backend development using Go and it made me curious as to what are the backend languages which other people use.

Go
Favorite and least favorite language features?
where ?
great!
PHP (with Laravel)
Same.
Superb!
Nice!
Java
great!
Elixir is my main language of choice.
Great for Web apps, Mobile Apps, IOT, Machine Learning and More!.
A wonderful alternative to Javascript, Go, Ruby and Python.
:D
Surely a language that i will learn someday!!! The prettiest logo among all the programming language btw
Great to know!
Nice, I didn't know about Elixir. Will have to research about it now!
Python with Django
superb!
But I don't work on backend professionally at the moment.
Nice!
I'm using Node.js and C++ for high preformance
😲 wow amazing, just curious how to manage the portion between the node and c++ ?
If I use both in one project, I use an internal socket or C++ as a thread or vice versa.
Awesome Have you ever written about it?
Not yet, maybe in future :)
super!
Working on 3 different projects with 3 different tech stacks at the moment! The one I've been on the longest is TypeScript, and it's fine. It's not a perfect backend language but it does the job pretty well, and working in the same language as the frontend really reduces the amount of context switching I have to do. The project is HUGE though and it feels like it needs to be broken up, which I think would be a struggle. At least it's not in JavaScript!
The next is in Python which is mostly quick to develop in, but having spent most of my career working with strongly-typed languages, weak typing feels like an unnecessary complication in a backend language.
My latest project is in C# which is a great backend language IMO. You can really feel the work that's gone into refining it over the last 20+ years. It's so easy it's almost boring! The downside is that while the language is amazing, Visual Studio is not. Its code completion (even without CoPilot) is the best in the business but the UI feels like a relic from 2005. It's not nearly as fast to get around as VSCode. Once the project is a bit more mature I'm looking forward to trying it out on different IDEs on different OSes.
Nice to know, thanks for sharing!
I've mostly used typescript over the past few years but switched to go and it's been awesome. Using fiber for the current project; but I heard the stdlib had some nice updates recently that make it more viable to handle routes. Been meaning to look into that.
Great!
Mostly Ruby here
amazing!
Python at work, and mostly PHP + Node(JS) on personal projects
Why do you prefer php over python (given is the language of choice for personal projects)?
Nice!
php
Wonderful!
Mostly Python.
super!
python with django
Amazing!
Elixir
Great!
.net core
Magnificent!
I've been using C# for the last 8 years, but now I'm learning Clojure and F# 😊
great!
Express js
super!
C# as a backend language
nice to know!
I use Java and JavaScript (NodeJS).
great!
Java
nice!
NodeJS & PHP
great!
I used to work a lot with PHP, now TypeScript, and dabbling with some Go.
super!
Java (back when i worked)
Right now i'm experimenting with Go, Rust and Type-/JavaScript.
On my ToDo List: Elixier. Maybe C++ (again). Probably not Perl/Python
good to know!
Java->Python->Go
amazing!
i'm currently working with node.js and c#
awesome!
Everything new is done with Elixir, before that, Ruby
great to know!
Java and php
nice to know!
go ;)
nice
Mostly Java, but recently also experimenting with Typescript "on the edge", and sometimes Python for small side projects
nice!
In order of how much I use them:
Great!
We use C# under CodeBehind framework.
Need to research about CodeBehind framework, didn't know about it!
PHP at work, mostly Javascript personally.
Awesome!
No Rust devs?
yes Rust is great too!
F#, C#, and Haskell. All new stuff is F#.
What is F#?
PHP
Awesome!
Node JS 🙋
Super!
C#
amazing!
Right now Python Flask, but plan on Kotlin Ktor in the future
awesome!
PHP ( using codeigniter framework, I think we move codebase to laravel next year)
great!
Java
great!
Using C# for almost two decades now 😱
Wow!
I use python (django)
Awesome!
I use Node js and Php
amazing!
Pythooooooon
nice!
Go, nodejs
super!
