I like go and I can program it very well. But for full stack web dev Rails is still my go to choice. Less headaches. I don’t need to setup everything by myself (sql layer, middlewares, background jobs, validation patterns, i18n, authentication, authorization, security concerns, caching, mailing, migrations and a million other things).
There’s just nothing comparable from a developers productivity perspective to what Rails offers.
Would I write a command line tool in Go? For sure.
How do others think about Go for web dev?
- Andys 4y agoAfter using Rails for 15 years, I'm looking for a future on Go. The niche where Rails is great is larger apps that don't need anything custom or deviating from the built-in Rails Way. Simpler apps or services are simple in Go. Apps with heavy customization are also great with Go, and there's now plenty of libraries to help you outsource heavy lifting.

- lanecwagner 4y agoI feel super productive in Go. The strong typing and static compilation just make everything simple and easy
- flippinburgers 4y agoNot comparing a language with a framework would be a reasonable starting place.
- hit8run 4y agoUseless comment. What framework you use?
