He could build it in Go much faster just by using a couple of additional libraries but he's purposely limiting himself to just the standard library for the purpose of these articles.

> I know people will complain about speed of execution of language and framework but do you really care if you are not expecting Google like traffic.

If you don't care that's fine, but there are lots of us that do. This is subjective, but I find the memory use and overall performance of Rails/Django/Spring Boot applications to be completely unacceptable and there are far too many breaking changes.



It doesn’t make sense to say Rails etc are “Completely unacceptable” without giving a context. How can it be subjective? Memory is also rather arbitrary, why focus on that and not user friendliness? Or even GPU or cache efficiency? “Breaking changes” might not matter either if what you’re writing is a one-off.


What languages/framework do you use when performance/memory usage is key?


Not OP, but I'd go with Go or a fresh version of .NET Core depending on where it would need to integrate to.

If we're talking real time sub-millisecond performance, then Rust.
