I’m looking for a programming language that can help me build a desktop application for Windows, macOS, and Linux that’s not big but not small either. Additionally, I’d like to be able to build a website with the same language. I’ve been considering Ruby, Python, Golang and JavaScript. Python seems to be mainly used for scripting and ai, so I’m not sure if it’s the best fit. JavaScript has a lot of negative opinions surrounding it, while Ruby sounds interesting. Can anyone recommend a language that meets my requirements?
But what about websites.
It can do back ends with django and flask but the only choice for front ends is javascript or something like htmx
WASM
Yeah, I’ve been using Rust with Leptos and Axum for a website I’ve been working on. Works great tbh. I don’t even know JS.
I’m writing a web app on Python + HTMX. Little to none javascript involved.
If it’s something simple you can check out FastAPI. For more complicated projects involving data models and relationships, check out Django.
May I recommend Litestar over FastApi?
So many websites out there are built on Django, Flask, etc.
