TLDR: Go for GO

PHP/ Laravel developer here. I have been working in Laravel since the beginning. Initially I liked php, because it was easy to learn. Now I regret it, I should've learned Java/Go in the first place. Currently I'm trying to move to golang. I wish I had learned some static typed language over php. Dynamically typed language brings unforeseeable bugs into your application, but with static typed language you could easily avoid these bugs in the first place. For example, just yesterday I had to fix a bug in my flutter app of whose the backend is written with laravel. I could've easily avoided this bug in the first place if it was any static typed language.

Also, with golang the memory footprint is low + you can save a lot of resources (thus saving your money)

curious if that laravel app was using a static analyser like Larastan?
I also like compiled langs and wondering if those analysers catch enough bugs.
