TypeScript hasn't risen to the level of Go. If you live in the JS world that may not be obvious, but in the general landscape it's not as prominent.
A lot of people make a lot of fuss over how fast the programming world moves, but I'm a bit of a contrarian on that. There's a huge amount of churn at the very small scale, but when you get to that top-level set of languages, we're actually very conservative. For pete's sake, C is still a top-level language in 2021! It's finally on its way down, but it's got a long way to go to fall out of that criterion, unfortunately.
This is why I didn't even necessarily label Go as a "top-level" language. It's only 12 years old, after. It's a whippersnapper of a top-level langauge. 25 years old makes for a young top-level language!
