Why use an ecosystem that needs 2-3 layers of build tooling, none of which is designed to work together when you can use any of the sane stacks instead? Not to mention the hell that is Jest, Eslint and trying to make those play with aforementioned 2-3 layers of crap. Then you also have to put up all the downsides of purely single threaded concurrent programming instead of Go M:N model which is much less prone to problems like event loop exhaustion.

Go for all it's faults has one build system/tool and spits out machine code, hell it does that probably 10x faster than just tsc can typecheck.

Personally I don't like either but Go > Typescript seems like a no-brainer unless you are hell bent on the isomorphic code thing and all the extra work that entails. i.e. making sure someone doesn't reference window in an isomorphic lib or node APIs in the opposite scenario, etc.
