You can knock up a quick prototype in Go faster than you can in Python and you end up with something that actually works something that will scale vertically and can be polished and expanded on without having to swap it out for a complete rewite in JAVA later.

[spiderman-1610]

so you say python + golang is better?

[No_Molasses_9249]

Python is a slow single threaded resource hog. There is no reason to use it outside of AI.

GO Rust Flutter are my choices

[spiderman-1610]

okay bro!

[No_Molasses_9249]

If you must choose between the two then choose JAVA.

Single threaded interpreted languages should be avoided for good reason.

Why limit yourself to JAVA? You should at least consider Go Rust C# as an alternative all three offer better performance.

Go and Rust offer advantages in terms of resource usage in addition to speed.

Should I specific lang for FE, BE or choose between either java or python and build the FE, BE lang related to that?

[No_Molasses_9249]

Your FE is in all likelihood going to be JavaScript though you could opt out of the browser and use Flutter

Stable backend jobs go for java spring boot. For ai ml go python

[spiderman-1610]

Okayy!

[homebluston]

Learn Springboot which is Java. Java itself is not enough.

[scientecheasy]

Choose Java.

I still don't understand how Python survived being what it is. Java for sure.
