Since cloud use is on the up-tick I’m wondering if there are programming languages that are particularly suited to the cloud. I did a web search and got “Java” and “Go”; but Python and R are popular as is javascript and … well it would be great to get a sort of context map of all these options; maybe a concise statement of strong points or ‘what is it good for’.
