Getting proficient with Go has been the best move of my career to date. It's such a productive language, and you don't have the same drowning in dependencies problems whatsoever becuase the stdlib and a few packages around it are just so strong. I like being able to show off a very small go.mod to a boss who's been putting up with NPM hell for the better part of a decade.
I like typescript, I've tried Deno but it's just insane to me how people get caught up in all the hype around the NPM ecosystem only to end up crashing into walls like 'entire system shutting down' with no idea how to fix it. Friend who came before me hit me up asking about a 'linux problem' and it was just webpack crashing his entire computer with semaphore exhaustion. I keep that stuff confined to where it was spawned from, in the browser, anywhere else just doesn't feel sane to me.
