@eaplmx@twtxt.net Go. For the following reasons:

• Go has a great standard library
  
• Go has great tooling
  
• Go’s packaging (whilst some argue against) is actually pretty good
  
• Go has first-class concurrency
  
• Go’s concurrency model (CSP) lets you model concurrent programs linearly making concurrent programs easier to read
  
• Go has a focus on readability
  
• Go compiles insanely fast (if you avoid using CGO)
  
• Go doesn’t support silly things like classes which is fucking great!
