Ask HN: Is it possible to compile TypeScript to Golang?

It sounds like you need a language that supports stronger types and concurrency.

There are many good programming languages that might work if neither Go nor Typescript individually would meet your needs.

I recommend examining the following to see if they would work better for you:

Ada: https://learn.adacore.com/courses/intro-to-ada/index.html

Elixir: https://elixir-lang.org/

Java: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/

Rust: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/

All of them have excellent support for concurrency and strong typing to various degrees that help you to write complex logic quickly.

Elixir doesn‘t have support for static types built in.

It has support for type annotations, though, and tools like dialyzer can check for type errors much like TypeScript does: https://elixir-lang.org/getting-started/typespecs-and-behavi...

Interesting choices.

Are there any languages which have concurrency semantics like Go?

There are many languages with libraries that can use CSP (Communicating Sequential Processes)[0], but some popular languages that have it in the core libs are: Golang, Crystal and Clojure.
