I find it interesting how Rust is gaining momentum in tooling like uv and now rv.

Rust is the new C. Go had a shot but went in an applications direction. I predict that very soon, perhaps even inside of three decades, Rust will become the dominant, first-choice systems programming language.

Go can do just as well in tooling.

Microsoft chose Go for tsc rewrite. https://devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/typescript-native-...

And then there's esbuild, also in Go, which revolutionized web bundling speed https://esbuild.github.io

MS uses Go for tsc because they are basically doing a line by line rewrite of tsc from typescript to Go.

It's impossible to do this kind of rewrite from a GC language to a non GC one, especially Rust where the object soup of typescript will probably cause the borrow checker to explode.

I think that if MS or someone else decided to write a typescript type checker from scratch there is a high chance Rust will be chosen.
