I recently rewrote a computation-heavy Typescript program in Go and what once took 12 hours can now be done in about 3 minutes - there was also some trickery involved running things in parallel but Go made that possible, trying to do that in JS just froze my computer.

Plus it’s a binary I can drop anywhere, will always be backwards compatible, no updated dependency is going to break it, I’m a fan of Go.
