Today, web application developers have a wide range of options available when it comes to picking a programming language for web apps development.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

These programming languages are not just viable for frontend development of an app, but the backend development too. Clear yet hidden, it consists of all the business logic and sensitive operations. Now, talking about the quality of an app, there are several determining factors like its ability to perform well and scale perfectly <\/b>along with the maintenance of code and the entire system security. The above- mentioned factors have a direct link with the quality of the web application\u2019s backend. Thus, it is always important to go for the right tool for the project.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, we look forward to a host of options while choosing the tech stack for back-end development. Getting lost within the diversities of Ruby, Nodejs, Go, Python, PHP, and then taking the decision without much knowledge of the intricacies of these technologies might be a laborious affair. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

However, we can lessen your task. So, in the section below we would give you a run-through of technologies like Nodejs and Golang, both their benefits and adversities as these two have been considered the most potential technologies in recent times. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Something more about Nodejs:<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Nodejs is a JavaScript runtime environment based on Google Chrome\u2019s V8 engine. Initially introduced at JSConf in 2008, this is a cross-platform open-source tool mainly used to create web servers. This runs JavaScript code, thus enabling developers to write both the server-side and client-side code without dealing with the problem of learning two completely different programming languages. Prominent companies like Netflix, eBay, and Groupon have already used\u00a0N<\/b>odejs development services<\/b><\/a><\/span> for full-stack web development and are now the most widely used JavaScript framework. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Learning about Go: <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Go or Golang, is an open-source, statically typed, <\/span><\/span><\/span>composed<\/span><\/span><\/span>, cross-platform, and lightning-fast programming language which got its first introduction in 2009. This is for multi-purpose use, thus a good language for backend development. As per the reports of<\/span><\/span><\/span> the <\/span><\/span><\/span>Tiobe<\/b><\/span><\/span> Index<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span>, Go <\/span><\/span><\/span>became the <\/span><\/span><\/span>Programming Language <\/span><\/span><\/span>for the <\/span><\/span><\/span>Year 2009 and 2016. Web apps using Go <\/span><\/span><\/span>lists<\/span><\/span><\/span> Uber, BBC, SoundCloud, and Basecamp.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So, after the quick intro, let us study the comparison between the two and get to see the ultimate winner.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
