One of the nice things about Go is that this is actually pretty easy. I've written some pretty useful things with this and gotten good mileage out of it. Any competent Go programmer could do this in an afternoon. I don't really know what the state of JS tooling on this is, but my impression is that it's a lot harder, partly because JS is just so much more complex of a language, even just on the syntax/AST level. And TypeScript is even more complex.
