Ryan Dahl has only spoken about implementation details and poor decisions made at the start that are too far along to correct now. He says Go is better than Node, not Javascript. If Javascript-as-a-server was a mistake then Ryan would not be working on Deno [0]. I just hope that the use of Py2 and having to stick with it doesn't bite them in the ass past 2020 [1].
With the caveat of my argument assuming "Typescript is a superset of Javascript."

- nebulous1 8y agoI don't see (from that issue, this is the first I've heard of it) that they "have to stick with it". They're saying they won't try to move to python 3 until the V8 build does. Seems pretty reasonable to me.

I would definitely use Go for that. And honestly, that's basically the reason why I left Node. It was the realization that: oh, actually, this is not the best server side system ever.
- Nadya 8y agoNode is not JavaScript. E: To clarify on this a little since I'm not posting from a phone. Which means he's still using Javascript-as-a-server (Deno), so he obviously still has some faith in using Javascript-as-a-server. Go > Node, in his opinion, but that says nothing about Go > Javascript.
