TypeScript is too much work for not enough reward.

Typescript is a neat idea running atop a cursed language (JS)

Using Go has been more fun. Where fun means less surprises.

I like go a lot. Not just for the lack of surprises but having go-fmt alone helps avoid a lot of bike shedding that limits extraneous stress.
Disagree. Try working on a large project with 3-4+ engineers and you'd come round to the conventional wisdom of TS. But yeah, TS is more a developer tool than a language anyways.
I agree re: correctness, but I couldn't live without Code completion.
