I don't buy the reasoning.

First of all, it is a missed opportunity for Microsoft to have another vector for people to learn C#.

Secondly at BUILD session, Anders ended up explaning that they needed to rewrite the AST data structures anyway, given that Go type system is much inferior to Typescript.

And Go's story on WebAssembly is quite poor, when compared with Blazor toolchain, they are hopping Google will make the necessary improvements, required for the TypeScript playground and when running VSCode on the browser.

Finally, some of the key develpers involved on this effort have been layed off during the latest round.

This is fascinating. I really bought into the original explanation [0], but seems like it was not the (full) truth.
