TypeScript is generally a horrific language to use on the backend and especially for performance and even as a compiler. Just ask the TypeScript developers rewritting the TS compiler in Golang with all the problems they encountered using it.
C# is a much better choice to use for the backend and also a better designed language in general.
- CharlieDigital 1y agoThey are close enough IMO that most devs can probably competently move between the two. I think the big gains come from a more mature ecosystem of things that "just work". e.g. EFC vs Prisma or Drizzle with EFC having, for example, automatic change tracking and automatic up/down migrations. The two NPM supply chain attacks this week also highlight another issue with the ecosystem in general. We'll see how this change goes and evolves in Motion; C# is still relatively rare for startups, but at series C, it's no longer a seed stage startup and it increasingly feels like "it's just another distributed enterprise backend" (or at least it should be).
