If you are doing the back end in Goland then maybe VBFCGI isn't relevant. The main purpose of VBFCGI is to write your backend in VB6 and there's only 2 reasons to do that:

  • You have existing back end code from a mature Client/Server or N-tier application that you want to use on the web. There is no "re-writing" in this case, so you get to spend all/most of your efforts on the front end (using regular browser technologies like HTML5, JS, CSS, etc...)
  • You don't want to learn another language for the back end stuff because you are most skilled at writing in VB6. This would be the case for new projects where the goal is to get the back end together as quickly as you are able (since you are fastest at coding in VB6), then focus on the front-end in regular web technologies like HTML5, JS, CSS, etc...


If you are starting a new project in a new (to you) language like Golang, it would probably be best to forego VBFCGI entirely and choose a more standard web stack.
Hi jpbro,

In my last project, I've implemented cloud account management using vbFastCGI on Linux. Now what I'm going to do is a new project, which is mainly about big data storage, so I need to develop this project with Golang.

Edit:
In addition, I've sent a private message to you, I don't know if you have received it. Every night, vbForums is extremely crowded and often unable to send posts properly.
