I decided I wanted to learn #golang a little while back. I really want to expand my skill set. I've been a #PHP developer for a really long time, and I really like PHP, but I need to branch out some more.

I had an idea for a #fediverse project, and decided that this project would be the perfect way for me to learn go.

But, I'm finding it really hard to make any headway on the project because there's so much to learn to make it work well.

Meanwhile, I'm finding that I really want to make this project a success, and with the extremely slow pace of building it in go, I'm thinking that maybe I should give up on that right now and build it in PHP after all. I could probably have a working MVP in a few weeks if I did it in PHP. And then tackle a less ambitious project in go later.

I can't decide which way to go. Maybe I could even build it in PHP and later rebuild it in go.

@danjones000 Is it an application that fits well with PHP? (Some do, some don't.) If so, go with what you know. If not, then it's worth building in something you don't know.
