Topic: Most Active Language for FHIR

Hi all. I'm wondering what the most active language is for FHIR nowadays. My company is looking at a potential migration and I'm fishing right now for the most popular stacks you all are using right now. I don't PHP is a popular one so far.

What's your use case? I like Python for data science; Javascript is a nice option since it works on web/mobile right away. Java is popular. Rust looks like the future but can be frustrating to learn

We are building a FHIR server for our client to retrieve their study results. It talks to the database to fetch the data convert it up to the FHIR standard.

Java and C# are the two most used public domain servers and are used very widely. However, the base reference server is written in Pascal (and we still respect the author). So, I would look at any of those three as most easy to get support in

There is a list of available implementations.

Server-side, definitely Java (HAPI) and C#. Client implementations - those two plus Javascript and Python.
