Let’s say we don’t care about the backend<>frontend interconnection we see in most JS frameworks. We just want to program the backend. What would be the language of your choice?

    Go could be a good option. I say this as a Rust and Kotlin fanboy.

    Rust is great but it’s heavyweight for a simple webserver. Kotlin is great but requires a lot of setup. Golang is super small, compiles very fast and predictably, and has easy concurrency. It’s possible for anyone to contribute to a Go project at any level of experience.
