Great writing as always!
In our case we had a pretty strong debate over the choice but for productivity’s sake.
We started as a team of three, two of us know Go pretty well and another is more proficient with JavaScript/typescript, and he reasoned we should all use one language so that everyone can take over other people’s tasks. While it makes perfect sense, any new language has its learning curve and small bytes you may or may not like. I still think that for someone to be productive he they should use whatever they choose that make them happy as long as it’s within the confines of a standard language. Still, I fully get the team leader’s view.
Long story short, typescript it is :)
