The typescript team themselves rewrote the compiler in Go to get better use of coding agents.
- hoten 5mo agoThey started that migration years ago. I don't remember them citing agentic coding as a reason. Do you have a source?
- lexoj 5mo agoNot sure about the compiler but prominent users of llm agents (Mitchel Hashimoto, Armin Ronacher etc) has mentioned that Go gives better results for agentic coding.
- franz899 5mo agoThey did it for speed, and Go was the language with the closest syntax to migrate to.
