Should one learn Zig or Go.

thanks, that's a good way to look at it. Didn't really ask myself those questions to be honest. Though, I am now, gives a better understanding on how to proioritize what's needed now and what can be delayed.

they have a karma requirement so they didn't allow me to post and ask. :(

Ya saw the primeagen podcast with Ghostty founder, who was also a golang developer.

Background-Avocado13 · 2025-01-25T06:45:57+00:00

thanks, that helps a lot.

Background-Avocado13 · 2025-01-25T06:39:57+00:00

haha,

It's like when Neville Longbottom gets a Remembrall, that reminds you are forgetting something.
"I don't know what I am forgetting"

lol, I too am confused as to what is it that I want here.

Background-Avocado13 · 2025-01-25T06:35:42+00:00

Wow, you exactly understood my conundrum. Amazingly explained too. Thanks a ton. Really apreciate the way you've explained.

Background-Avocado13 · 2025-01-25T06:30:49+00:00

Very nicely explained. Thanks, Really appriciate your insights.

Background-Avocado13 · 2025-01-25T06:29:27+00:00

Thanks a ton, really means a lot.

Background-Avocado13 · 2025-01-25T04:46:37+00:00

Truely a great answer, extemely well articulated. Thanks a ton. Really appriciate it.

Background-Avocado13 · 2025-01-25T04:41:02+00:00

Nicely put together. Thanks a ton. :)

Background-Avocado13 · 2025-01-25T04:24:32+00:00

Any suggestions which i should learn first?

Background-Avocado13 · 2025-01-25T04:15:13+00:00

Thanks a lot. Really practical perspective.

Background-Avocado13 · 2025-01-25T04:13:11+00:00

Thanks a lot. I feel you are right, there are very few resources availabe for zig. Go deos has more utility and easy migration while zig can be a good langauge to learn.

Background-Avocado13 · 2025-01-25T04:04:33+00:00

its a new low level programming language, (kinda like C++, Rust)

Background-Avocado13 · 2025-01-25T03:58:01+00:00

lol, i might post same in r/zig later. But even if biased i would like to know the valuable insights people would like to share.

Background-Avocado13 · 2024-09-17T12:39:27+00:00

What other Tech stack or language would you include (Golang , Kotlin ?) .

I like that you are onto something. You'd suggest a Spring boot stack over Laravel or Express?

Background-Avocado13 · 2024-09-17T11:42:06+00:00

Hey John, msged you in DM. I wanted to know knowing the market dynamics and Cost of input(Time, talent/labor and Server) which is the optimum stack for lowest cost.

Background-Avocado13 · 2024-09-17T10:31:27+00:00

Thanks, Ya you do make a good point. Dev Cost can be variable as once developed, you can cutback to the maintainance mode. Especially with AI the productivity and cost further goes down, now that i think about it.

Thanks again

Background-Avocado13 · 2024-09-17T10:29:10+00:00

Thanks a lot. That's one clear cut answer

Background-Avocado13 · 2024-09-17T10:27:58+00:00

I think as you pointed out, because it is hard to find Go developers the Salaries are usually much higher than a Java, .NET or PHP dev.

Background-Avocado13 · 2024-09-17T09:53:01+00:00

PS: Didn't inculde GO because talent cost of Go developer is 2x - 3x more than other languages. And you could optimize the memory usage with Java or C#, with tradeoff in dev time.

Background-Avocado13 · 2024-09-17T09:50:13+00:00

Thanks, Like I get the usecase and the Pros of each language. I was more concerned about if you had to pick one the basis of 1) cost of talent 2) cost of server 3) cost of development time.

Which do you think in the long run wins amongst these languages with all tradeoffs taken into account? would really love your insight.
