Really? Me and my team been using it for years with no problems whatsoever.

While Typescript has the gaping hole that is typing external data. Your code can't enforce that in TS, but in Go you're forced to.

I do admit Go has an easily found foot gun: nil pointers. It's a small one though, in comparison to the original problems with nil pointers. More stubbing your toe than shooting your foot.

Do you feel the same way about English?
