The author of esbuild used Rust and later switched to Go. He describes some of his experience here:

It is one person and one project, but I found it interesting to read about his experience.

I like Go, but I probably would have tried Rust first because I want pattern matching when implementing languages.

Very interesting. With rust's ocaml heritage, I'd imagine a straight port from typescript would be simpler and more idiomatic than a port to go. I guess not.
