Ask HN: The harder way to build a web application
Hi,
I've a project to build an open-source SaaS platform and I reflect on technology stack that will be used in this project.
I already made Javascript (NodeJS), PHP and Python (Django) applications therefore I would like to experiment an other way (more complicated language) to build this platform to have more challenge.
I was looking for Golang, is it a good idea to build it in the hard way or you recommend another technology ?
Thank you for your advices.
- herval 11y agoPerhaps some Java framework? They tend to be way more verbose and pretty dense for devs used to Rails/Django/Node to start...
- jmnicolas 11y agoI was thinking the harder way was with no framework at all, not using a different programming language.
- gatestone 11y agoI don't see much "hard" in https://golang.org/doc/articles/wiki/ https://golang.org/doc/articles/wiki/ or http://www.gorillatoolkit.org/ http://www.gorillatoolkit.org/ And you could argue that this is "with no framework". It is more like with a couple of library functions. Anyway, for pedagocial purposes it is great. No obscure magic.
