I take a look on Dart, which used by Flutter, a "React Native inspired" framework.
Very similar to Typescript and Java, so whatever you write, probably gonna work.
But I feel lack confidence on any language Google promoted. Eg kotlin and Go
🤦‍♂️
Google hired too many PhDs who have nothing to do, so they spend 1 day per week draw some doodles...
Hope this is not another weekend warrior project.🙄

    @aki237 I might be wrong, but it's one of the largest online job search site.

    @iNeed28hPerDay yes, you're right. But they also use another tools. Eg Tiwtch also uses React.js. Facebook almost uses everything. I can't see Go becomes a major player in their company.
    That's what I said, these weekend warrior type of projects.

    Twitch uses it for the most important part of their system. So I don't know how that is a weekend project. Heroku's backend is fully built on it. The YouTube backend is built on golang etc. Do you actually have any arguments except just saying it's for weekend projects?

    Golang is very popular... And Kotlin really has nothing to do with Google. It's developed by jetbrains, it just happens to be supported on Android now.

    @iNeed28hPerDay I checked their requirements for backend developer, Go is one, but also C++, Python, Ruby, Java, scala.
    Twitter used to use Ruby, now the only requirements are Python and node.js
    The truth is if you can work for a big company from the start, they don't require you to know it, they will train you.
    If not, good luck on learning it, gain commercial experience and find a job to use it.
    I said I have no problem with it, it just not worth my time.

    @ryanmhoffman I think I said promoted, rather than designed 😒
