The whole app is written in Typescript, except the webserver (Golang). We've already started to run into some performance issues on large projects.

Eventually we will write the frontend in C++ (using emscripten to compile to JS). The UI will use React, but the canvas state will be in C++.

Also, the monolithic backend will be split apart and rewritten in a different language to optimize speed.

We have a lot of work to make it more performant, but it's going to be fun to build :)
