I think Go might be a better choice but not for that reason at all.

Go could implement something like this with no dependencies outside the standard library. It would make sense to take on a few, but a comparable Rust project would have at least several dozens.

Also, Go can deliver a single binary that works on every Linux distribution right out of the box. In Rust, its possible but you have to static compile with muslc and that is a far less well-trodden path with some significant differences to the glibc that most Rust libraries have been tested with.

Because of all these obvious Go benefits, wonder why they are instead always doing these tools in typescript? Must be some reason?
Because is all the current generation of devs know unfortunately.
Most developers find it more pleasant.
I don't get it either.
Most of, if not every commit of claude code is now written by claude code itself without any human writing code, only promoting.
