Ask HN: What would you build a back end in for a future proof app

I know the old adage goes use what you know, but I'm about to build out a new project that needs to stand the test of time.

Running everything on PaaS or 'magic' backends feels a bit scary. Is Rust or Go still the king of the hill for long lasting performant processes or would Elixir be worth a look?

My use case is building a networking backend for a video game, but I'm wondering what people look to these days for bullet-proof performance and stability. The javascript world seems to change by the week.
