Why I Prefer Go Over Node.js for Backend Development
As a softwar developer, choosing the right language and tools can make a huge difference in how efficiently you build, maintain, and scale applications. While Node.js is widely adopted in the backend world, I personally prefer Go (Golang) for several key reasons. Here's why. ⚙️ 1. Performance and Concurrency Go is a compiled language with built-in support for concurrency through goroutines and channels. Whether it's handling multiple HTTP requests or processing data-heavy tasks, Go offers consistent and high performance with minimal memory overhead. Its lightweight concurrency model is often simpler and more efficient than JavaScript’s event loop and async/await system.
