Re:Go is an ideal language for AI-assisted software engineering by frollogaston on Wednesday August 12, 2026 @02:58AM (#49268727)
Go was originally designed as a systems language to replace C++. It's much faster than JS but also less suited for applications code in some ways. JS (or TS) is definitely not strictly better than Go or vice versa.

One less obvious advantage: Go has greenthreading which is better than JS's async-await. Rust chose async-await to avoid the runtime overhead of greenthreading, but JS has no such reason, it's just a downside.
