I've been coding professionally since the 90s. The last project I worked on was in Go. It was pleasant and surprisingly productive. A few warts, like the parent said, but all told it was a great experience. I'm now working on a Typescript project. It is painful. Typescript itself is quite nice, but the deep problems with the rest of the ecosystem have not gone unnoticed.
