Juste choose whatever suit the needs. I am using Golang for a project cuz I something I can compile and get a tiny binary that I can share to customers.
PHP is still a very good backend tool. Don’t let GoLang and Rust warriors gaslight you

A French engineer who lives quietly in Paris has spent 30 years writing software that the entire internet now runs on without knowing his name.
He wrote the code that streams every YouTube video, every Netflix show, every TikTok clip. He wrote the code that runs the virtual servers underneath AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. He calculated more digits of pi than anyone in history. He has no Twitter. He has no marketing. He just keeps shipping.
His name is Fabrice Bellard.
Here is the story, because almost nobody outside the systems programming world knows what one man has built.
Fabrice was born in 1972 in Grenoble, France. He studied at École Polytechnique, the top French engineering school. He never went to Silicon Valley. He never built a startup empire. He just wrote code.
In 2000 he started a project called FFmpeg, an open-source multimedia framework for encoding, decoding, and streaming video. He was 28. The project did one thing nobody else had done well. It handled every video and audio format that existed, in one library, on every operating system. He led it himself for years.
Today FFmpeg is the invisible engine of the internet. YouTube uses it. Netflix uses it. VLC uses it. Chrome and Firefox use parts of it. Every Android phone, every iPhone, every smart TV, every video editing tool you have ever touched runs FFmpeg somewhere underneath. If you have watched a video on a screen in the last 20 years, Fabrice's code processed it.
He was not done.
In 2003 he started QEMU, a machine emulator and virtualizer. He wrote it solo until version 0.7.1 in 2005. QEMU lets you run any operating system on any other operating system. It became the foundation of modern virtualization. KVM, the Linux kernel hypervisor, runs on top of QEMU. Every major cloud provider, AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, IBM Cloud, runs virtual machines on infrastructure built around it. The Quick Emulator is the most cited piece of cloud infrastructure code on Earth.
He kept going.
In 2001 he won the International Obfuscated C Code Contest with a small C compiler that grew into TCC, the Tiny C Compiler. TCC can compile and boot a Linux kernel from source in under 15 seconds. In 2004 he calculated the most digits of pi ever computed at the time, using a personal desktop computer and an algorithm he derived himself called Bellard's formula. In 2011 he wrote a complete PC emulator in pure JavaScript that runs Linux in your browser, a project called JSLinux that engineers still cannot believe is real.
In 2019 he released QuickJS, a small but complete JavaScript engine that fits where V8 cannot. In 2021 he released NNCP, a neural network based lossless data compressor that immediately took the lead on the Large Text Compression Benchmark.
Then he turned his attention to large language models. He built TextSynth Server, a web server with a REST API for running LLMs locally. He released ts_zip and ts_sms, compression utilities that use language models to compress text and short messages at ratios traditional algorithms cannot reach. He released TSAC, a very low bitrate audio compression system. In December 2025 he released Micro QuickJS, a new JavaScript engine for microcontrollers, separate from QuickJS, designed for environments with almost no memory.
Fabrice co-founded a telecom company called Amarisoft in 2012, where he serves as CTO. Amarisoft builds 4G and 5G base station software used by carriers and labs around the world. He has been running it for over a decade while continuing to ship personal projects from his own home page at bellard dot org
He has no Twitter. He has no Instagram. He gives almost no interviews. His personal website is a flat list of projects with no styling, no fonts, no marketing copy. Just titles and links.
A quiet French engineer who never moved to Silicon Valley wrote the code that quietly runs the internet.
He is still shipping.

First, this is a fundamentally flawed analogy. You cannot logically compare Ethiopia, a landlocked country that bleeds billions of dollars annually on exorbitant port fees just to engage in basic international trade, to Vietnam, a country that possesses a massive coastline directly on the South China Sea and sits right in the strategic manufacturing backyard of China.
Yes, it is a historical fact that Ethiopia was not formally colonized, but this does not mean they were living in peace and harmony.
Mussolini and his fascist Italian army brutally occupied Ethiopia, deploying chemical weapons and mustard gas against civilians. Even though the brave people of Ethiopia were able to regain their sovereignty, they suffered devastating human and infrastructural losses in the process. But the economic strangulation did not end there. All of Ethiopia's neighboring countries were under brutal European colonial occupation. These colonial powers intentionally blockaded Ethiopia, forcing the country into absolute geopolitical isolation and completely cutting it off from global trade routes. And even when direct colonialism supposedly ended in the region, Ethiopia did not see peace. Foreign powers, including Saudi Arabia and other Arab nations, heavily funded and armed Eritrea to wage a brutal, draining civil war against Ethiopia that lasted for thirty years, systematically bleeding their economy dry.
And yes, Vietnam suffered horrifically from a brutal American war, but they had the massive, undeniable support of the Eastern bloc to bounce back. After the Vietnam War, China and the Soviet Union aggressively transferred heavy technology to Vietnam. They helped modernize their seaports, integrated their manufacturing grids into Asian supply chains, built vital rail networks, and shared critical industrial blueprints. This does not take away the credit due to the highly disciplined leadership structure of the Vietnamese state and their incredibly industrious population, but they absolutely received massive geopolitical help.
Even China did not build its empire from scratch. In the 1950s, the Soviets transferred entire industrial bases, heavy metallurgical technology, aerospace engineering, and foundational manufacturing plants directly to Beijing. And even after Mao Zedong passed away,Deng Xiaoping basically opened the Chinese market to the West, US tech giants poured their equipment, patents, and capital into the country. They set up massive semiconductor supply chains, built state of the art mega factories, transferred highly guarded intellectual property, and injected hundreds of billions of dollars in foreign direct investment to exploit cheap labor. But when it comes to Africa, Western commentators heap the blame entirely upon us, acting as if they brought this high level technology and capital to our shores and we simply refused to integrate it into our development.
Let us be very clear. Nobody is blaming 19th century colonialism alone for the current poverty level in Africa. I have never seen any serious Pan African scholar who claims Africa is poor today solely due to historical colonialism. I am also not here on this platform to fight against the ghost of the past, as that would be a silly and unproductive distraction.
What we are fiercely fighting against today is active, ruthless neo colonialism.
The predatory terms and conditions buried in the World Trade Organisation manuals for global trade make it legally and economically impossible for any African nation to build wealth from processing its own raw materials. We are forced, through a rigged system of tariff escalation, to export our resources raw and untouched to sustain European industries. If an African country exports raw cocoa or crude oil, the tariffs are zero, but the exact moment they try to export processed chocolate or refined petroleum, they are hit with crushing import taxes. Furthermore, imperial financial institutions like the IMF and the World Bank constantly stampede African growth by forcing deadly Structural Adjustment Programs, mandating the suicidal privatization of state owned power grids, forcing the endless devaluation of national currencies, and strictly banning African governments from subsidizing their own local farmers while Western farmers receive billions in state welfare.
There is absolutely no genuine technology transfer to African nations. There is no room for us to trade as equals in the global market. There is no bilateral loan or foreign aid available to Africans that does not demand total economic capitulation, the absolute surrender of our national sovereignty, and the complete deregulation of our banking sectors. And in spite of all these crushing economic blockades, we still have to spend our limited national budgets and sacrifice the blood of our military personnel fighting off foreign backed rebels. These proxy militias stage relentless guerrilla warfare on our soil for one singular purpose, which is to violently clear our resource rich fields so that foreign conglomerates can feast on our gold, lithium, cobalt, and uranium undisturbed.
Now Magatte, I know that you are deeply invested in a self hating narrative, trying incredibly hard to please your white corporate masters overseas by blaming the victims of imperialism. But the next time you decide to compare two nations operating on completely different continents and under vastly different geopolitical realities, do not use just one stupid variable as your entire metric.

Ethiopia was never colonized.
For much of its history, it was one of the poorest countries on the continent.
Meanwhile, Vietnam was colonized by the French, devastated by decades of war, and is now on its way to serious economic prosperity.
If colonialism were the answer to why Africa is poor, Ethiopia should be rich and Vietnam should be broke. Neither is true.
Can we please retire this excuse?

This guy should speak more often. He is doing a great job. The more he opens his mouth the less we have to explain why March and March is rooted in tribalism and hate. We can now simply reply with his clips instead of typing long arguments every time.

To get good animations from an AI you need to get good at telling it what you want:
- "stagger this list of items"
- "make this animation direction-aware"
- "spacial consistency", "crossfade", "layout animation",
I made a motion vocabulary for this:

Depuis que t’es sorti du Cameroun, tu bavardes plus qu'une pie man.
Étant au Cameroun tout le temps tu défendais ce que le système faisait, aujourd'hui qu'est-ce que tu veux trop nous expliquer?

Quelqu’un comme Samuel Eto'o doit s’exprimer sur des faits graves de société. La guerre au NOSO, il ne dit rien. Les enfants sont violés, il ne dit rien. Tant qu’il mange à la FECAFOOT, les autres peuvent mourir. Nos icônes nous servent même à quoi ? Pourtant, Mbappé parle !!

Mélissa 22 ans,
est décédée après que l’hôpital de district de Nkoldongo (Yaoundé) a refusé de la prendre en charge sans un dépôt de 8 000 FCFA. Une somme équivalant à douze euros alors qu’elle venait de s’évanouir pendant ses épreuves du baccalauréat.
