OpenAI uses Go for the networking implementation for the relays and the services, which makes a ton of sense, instead of something immature as TypeScript / Node or whatever.

Yet another reason to not consider anything else like that for low-latency networking. Golang (or even Rust and C++) is unmatched for this use-case.

"something immature as TypeScript / Node or whatever"

Node.js's initial release was May 27, 2009

Golang 's initial release was November 10, 2009

They're different, yes, but it's not like

okay, sure, but one is by microsoft, the other by a 25 year old, and another by rob pike. The one by rob pike is going to be infinitely more mature and thought out than a hacky type system on JS because it isn't his first rodeo

Can golang do zero copy networking nowadays? In the past golang was terrible at this kind of thing due to allocations and copies of all relayed data.

Even Java together with Netty supports zero copy networking... if Go misses that feature I wouldn't be very hard to implement it yourself

And the GC!
