I guess they don’t know yet that Go is no longer the most hipster language. Version 8.0 will be in Rust.

I wonder why they decided to use Go-lang instead of building out the fairly-complete, Rust-based SWC compiler.

matt, I have a question: Why golang and why not rust? Why was golang more suitable? I'm very curious. Please ask this question in the LIVE event 🙏

I really can't understand all the hype about go rewrite. I've never had any problems with TS editor performance and I absolutely don't care about build time, since it happens in pipeline without me even having to pay attention.

They maybe should implement real function overloading before rewriting the whole language

It's the biggest TS announcement I can remember.
