TypeScript choosing Go for a native compiler (instead of Rust) is like seeing your college crush dating your roommate instead.

I kid... it's a good change. But, subjectively speaking, disappointed.
@zeh I love Go, but that is a strange decision.
The decision seems to be more due to how Go's approach resembles TypeScript, so the existing compiler can be "ported" rather than re-architectured.

In that aspect, it makes sense, but it also means it was a choice of convenience over results (regardless of whether a different language would have better results).
@zeh let's say they have still room for improvement :P
@zeh that's got to be a jarring transition for people used to writing in a language with an expressive type system. Go always feels so clunky to me after writing Rust for so long.
