"it picked up its users mostly from the Python/Ruby/JS world rather than C/C++/Java"

And with the increasing performance of Bun, it seems that Go is about to get a whooping by JS.

Runtimes like Bun, Deno, or type systems like TypeScript don’t change the fact it’s still JS underneath — a crappily designed language that should’ve never left throwable frontend code.

None of these runtimes make JS anywhere even close to single-threaded Go perf, let alone multithreaded (goroutine) perf.
