If Go2 wants to happen it needs to happen right now while the language adoption is still low. I personally think there won't be any Go2 or it will be admission of design failure from their maintainers who kept swearing to developpers &

At the end of the day it's not about the console, but the games running on it. Not going to buy this if the only thing I can play on it is Mario or Zelda. I wish Nintendo a lot of success though.

why do you think people are replacing Javascript with Typescript ? Ultimately, type resolution at compile time is better than an unmaintainble javascript.

browsers absolutely SHOULD do that. A page on the internet shouldn't have access to localhost by default ever.
