A comment on Why Go?.

Maybe a stupid question but...

With typescript 7 written in Go, am I able to download typescript 7 as an npm module in my package and use that? No, right? I have to have it installed on my system and maybe have a version manager to use different versions across projects. Or maybe it can be compiled to WA and published to npm?

I don’t see why not. Esbuild is written in Go and installed with NPM: https://esbuild.github.io/getting-started/#install-esbuild

It will continue to work from npm. See esbuild as an example.

You can upload binaries to npm, so I don't see why you shouldn't be able to download it as a npm module?
