Go is the only language that allows one to write very scalable TCP servers fast (i mean development effot). The servers are almost as fast as C (i.e. 15x Python), but the development time is like Python.
Then you have the option of using Java, Clojure, Scala, Ruby, Python, Javascript or Groovy languages.
which makes as much as sense as asking
- What about R? - What about GNU DAP? - What about FORTRAN?
for writing a TCP server.
