My go-to programming language is definitely PHP 7 with Symfony Framework. Its the language I have more experience with and it fits my programming style well. I can build stuff with it very fast and with good design thanks to OOP and all the amazing Symfony features like the very well done Dependency Injection container.

Despite the general hate, for me PHP is one of most balanced languages in terms of simplicity, feature set and performance. Good OOP without Java memory hog ;)

For the cases PHP is not a good fit, like applications that needs lots of concurrency, smaller services or system tools, Golang is my tool of choice.

I think PHP and Golang, complement each other really well, and I believe I can build almost anything with these two.

I need to get some experience with Frontend frameworks to complement my personal tech stack and I will go with VueJS.
