Hi criddell,
I switched from ruby (and rails) to golang this year as my main language.
If you're thinking "I'm hesitating between ruby on rails and golang", you should probably go with ruby on rails (no pun intended).
Golang is more low level, and it expects you prefer conceptual simplicity over abstraction [EDIT: this is why you won't see prominent golang rails-like framework]. This also means you're supposed to already know how to architecture a web application (if that's what you want to do) and to know the techs behind it.
You mention you started to learn RoR, but do you have previous and consequent experience with web development? If not, definitely use RoR, it will provide clear guidelines about how to build a web app.
- criddell 10y agoI haven't done a lot of web stuff. My day is spent mostly up to my neck in C++. I think I'm going to keep plugging away at Rails. If I ever reach a point where scale is becoming an issue, then I've got a great problem to have.
