Except that TypeScript's designer had strong and established experience in language design, and he made a lot of correct choices when implementing TypeScript. Can't say that about golang.

I'm not sure if you're casting aspersions on Rob Pike and Ken Thompson. But they are truly giants of computer science giants and they are behind golang. Can't say that about typescript (or any other language I can think of).

They have contributions, but not in programming language design. I was specific to point that out.
