Anders Hejlsberg, who designed C#, is now leading Typescript development. Why would I not join him at the frontiers of his creative and intellectual energies?

Go is a nice language, but it's not expressive the way typescript can be. I'm not convinced, either, that coroutines are all that snazzy an abstraction at the application level.

I love C# too.

You're welcome to port anything over to those languages. LLMs can do it in a couple of days at most.

ADK comes in Go, Java, Python, and TS

Same framework, multiple languages, let people decide their preference while having consistency and interoperability
