Choosing the Right Backend Language for Your First Project

Asked By CuriousCoder928 On

I'm pretty new to web development and trying to decide which backend language to use for my first project. I currently work as a C# WPF developer, so I've tried out Blazor but then switched to Node.js and now Rust. I asked ChatGPT for advice, and now I'm leaning towards Rust — but I'm wondering if this is the right choice since I've heard it's hard to learn. Does Rust really offer better performance and security? What's your tech stack and why did you choose it?

It sounds like you're already experienced with C#, so I'd suggest sticking with what you know well. C# is well-supported for backend development, and it can handle a wide range of web app needs. Why make things more complicated when you already have a solid foundation?

That's a fair point! But I've read so much about Node.js and Rust that I'm intrigued by the differences. Just trying to figure out the best path.

Honestly, each language has its strengths and weaknesses. Rust is super performant and has great safety features, but yes, it can be quite complex. If your project isn't really pushing performance limits or requires low-level memory management, you might not need all of that power.

Exactly! For standard web tasks, languages like Node.js and PHP are often plenty fast without the complexity that Rust brings.

I use Node.js along with React for frontend work. It integrates well, and the development speed is fantastic. If you're looking to build fast and iterate quickly, that could be a great route to explore.

From a career perspective, C# is a solid choice because many companies use it, and it's straightforward to deploy. Node.js is also a good option if you want something that’s quick to set up and easy to work with, especially for web apps.
