NodeJS vs Go - Lemmy.world

I want to learn another programming language now that I’ve been using Python for over 2 years now. I am kind of leaning on learning JS so that I can use it for the backend and also for the frontend. But the syntax is kind of weird. I heard Go is pretty good for the backend and also is compiled. What do y’all say?

Figure out what you want to build first, then pick the best tool for the job. A common fault of JS devs is trying to make it work for every platform and usecase as opposed to learning the best language for that platform.
