Guy who ported DOOM to TypeScript types interviews TypeScript creator Anders Hejlsburg about porting the TypeScript compiler from TypeScript to Go. Great watch.

(TL;DR: they chose Go over Rust et al. for its simple syntax, similar functional programming style and built-in concurrency features.)

Always considered Go to feel more similar to JS vibes, and Rust more similar to Python vibes

Yeah, that's super bizarre to take up Go like that

I mean more how it feels to read and write it. Python/Rust feels more orderly and structured, everything is based on a type and its all very type-forward (although all of my Python is typed), whereas Go/JS (and even TS) feels more chaotic and freewheeling, even though you can write schemas and stuff it's not quite so orderly

sup fubs

microsoft uptaking a google language is interesting imo
also wondering on the latter if it's just cause polars has python bindings but has a rust implementation kek
polars <> pandas popularity -> shapes relative taste
