## Primary Recommendation
Go

## Rationale
All three backend runtimes have current stable releases published within the last 6 months (analysis date 2026-08-17; ADOPT window begins 2026-02-17), so each is classified as ADOPT under the team's adoption policy. Go 1.26.6 (released 2026-08-13) is the most recently released stable version among the shortlisted runtimes, making Go the primary recommendation. Python 3.14.7 and Node.js 26.7.0 (both released 2026-08-05) are also approved for adoption.
