Can I go off the road to answer Go(Google's Golang) ? It's a perfect blend of power and simplicity. The best thing about Golang are: Compiled language Statically typed (Learn some good habits) Supports multi-threading (Harness the full power of your machine) Supports the use of pointers (do not allow pointer arithmetic) Not an object-oriented language but supports Interfaces No exceptions only errors (No more try catch) Automatic garbage collection (so beginners can jump into it) Better things are: The whole toolchain is inbuilt. Testing framework is there, no need to search for it Code-linting and formatting is also there Quick to learn and the provided toolchains support rapid development. Do you know? Both Docker and Kubernetes are built using Golang. A good competitor is Rust but for those who love to clear their garbage on their own.
