[NFBCS] Which language should I use? Opinions please!

[Aaron Cannon]

If I were writing this I would consider using React or maybe Vue, both with
Typescript for the front-end, and websockets to communicate with the
backend. This would give you the snappiest user interactions.

For the back-end,  I would likely consider either Go or Node, or maybe even
Deno. If I did use Node, I would for sure use TypeScript. Any of these
would give you type safety, which helps to avoid an entire class of
potential errors. I'd choose Go for it's speed, and very light system
requirements. I would choose Node or Deno to keep the languages the same
between my back-end and front-end, and to make it easier to work with
websockets, probably by using socket.io.

Good luck.
