Ask HN: If Facebook was written today, what language would you recommend?
Note: Not the fb with millions of LOC but the initial one with a few thousands that started it all.
- taprun 9y agoWhatever you are best at writing. Scale doesn't matter much compared to traction early on.
- hellbreaker 9y agoBy far the best comment about programming. It really doesn't matter until you get into the millions of users. And the chances of that are slim. So focus on traction before scale.
- matchmike1313 9y agoI agree with taprun, whatever you are proficient in. I would build it with Node.JS probably or a VueJS front-end with a Go backend.
- meric 9y agoTypescript, react?
