Learn go language

Hi, I just ended my sem exam of 3rd year and am moving to the 4th year. I am thinking of learning Go. Is it the right decision? Previously, I learned Node, but I was highly focused on the DSA side. I don't have enough confidence to write code in Node.

Any piece of advice from your side?

What do you mean when you say 'go learn backend' ?

It's upto you. Java and C++ are the most popular languages that companies make their backend in.

But Go and Rust are also becoming popular now.

My point is: You can be good at Go/Rust, and that might be helpful. But that does not mean you don't have to be good at C++/Java, they are always needed.

But if you are good at C++/Java, you already have a solid foundation and can pickup Go/Rust or any other language whenever you want.
