I don't know a better tool for prototyping but I found it too slow even with ~1000 clients and that is on a beefy server. If, by some magic, they switch to a more modular design (maybe they already did, not following closely) and that in some way enables the use of postgres (as a 1st class citizen), I'd give it another go for something more than a prototype. Here is my humble opinion: If you aren't writing business logic, and will do mostly network programming, try Go. If you are doing something enterprise-y, use Kotlin or (IMHO even better) .NET Core. If you want to like writing code, try Elixir with (on?) Phoenix (or Django/Rails depending on your love affair with Python/Ruby).

> If you want to like writing code [then names dynamically typed languages] Huh? :)

  That's why I explicitly stated that it's my personal opinion, although "comment" already means "a verbal or written remark expressing an opinion" :) I actually like JavaScript more than many typed languages but I don't like writing a server that runs on an event loop. Again, preference. ps. You seem to be downvoted, I tried to compensate by upvoting. It is just a tease with a smiley at the end. Relax, people.
