I'm torn between Go (nicer runtime) and Node (get to use TS for nicer types!)

For me Go doesn't even come close. It's way too restrictive in what I can and can't do with it.

I might feel differently if I worked with a large number of people who I didn't trust, but on small to medium teams composed of very senior people using Go feels like coding with one hand tied behind my back.

I'm talking about the runtime though e.g. concurrency story being the main thing. Speed too. Easier multiform use. Memory footprint.
