alt Hacker NewsIn a world where AI supposedly can write in any language, Go is much better choice than TypeScript. Imagine contemplating for more than a few seconds a choice between simple, fast, cross-compilable language, and a TypeScript -> JavaScript -> Interpreter -> JIT stack.
If you don't know Go, it's more efficient to learn it than to waste the hardware resources of thousands to stay within JavaScript.

Absolutely. And in this same thread I am noticing people offering Java (lol). Yeah, we all need 1.5s startup time for one-off scripts, surely.

'Waste of hardware resources'? Ok then write your apps in Rust.
If it doesn't matter, and for most applications it doesn't, then TypeScript is far more readable than Go - so use that.
