For real-time applications, Go and Rust are the top choices due to their lightweight concurrency and memory efficiency. Combine them for a balanced approach: Go for high-level logic and Rust for performance-critical tasks. Use C/C++ for legacy systems and Java for enterprise-level applications where real-time performance is less critical.

When using Go, the chance of classic concurrency errors like race conditions, deadlocks, and resource leaks is significantly reduced. This is thanks to Go’s use of channels for safe communication between goroutines and its built-in garbage collector, which works seamlessly with the goroutine scheduler. This makes Go not only efficient but also more reliable and easier to debug in high-concurrency scenarios.

Choose Go for simplicity and safety in real-time systems, and complement it with Rust or C/C++ when maximum performance and low-level control are required.
