[squid-users] external helper development

[André Bolinhas]

Hi
Thanks for the reply.
I will take a look on Rust as you recommend.
Also, between Python and Go and is the best for multithreading and concurrency?
Rust supports multithreading and concurrency?
Best regards

If this helper is for long-term production use, and you are willing to learn new things, then use Rust[1]. Otherwise, use whatever language you are the most comfortable with already (except PHP), especially if that language has good libraries/wrappers for the external APIs you will need to use.
