Hey guys! From a Ruby on Rails Restful API programer’s perspective which should I learn? Scala or Golang? Why do you like Scala/Golang? Do you use any frameworks? Why should I choose Scala over Goland or vice versa?
Many thanks! o/

Opinion:

Try C; the other languages will open up to you after.

Build a simple Command Line tool with C then look at other languages with new eyes.

Probably Scala, you can use it with java and i think it has more support, but thats from me and i use golang

If you want to be on the JVM I'd rather take Kotlin than Scala. And Spring is a quite nice framework.

Go(lang) had a very nice inbuilt net/http package. Its an ideal language to try and make API, it has many nice frameworks like gorilla, gin, etc. that simplifies the process even further.

I have never used Scala but getting your head around the functional style is difficult than just getting started with Go.

The imerative way will feel a lot like home coming from Ruby.

@saintograph for a Restful API?? I think I’ll spend too much time learning C’s nuances than building the API. (Did learn a little bit of C a while back ago).
Your answer did surprise me...
