Dev rewrote Node app in Go, asks why developer-friendly languages matter when AI writes code
rakyll · x · 2026-11-10
VicVijayakumar describes rewriting an entire Node app in Go: a 28MB single binary with near-instant builds and deployments. He poses a provocative question for the AI-coding era: if code is no longer typed by hand, what's the point of developer-friendly languages — why not write everything in Go, or even C++? The take is being circulated as a debate starter on how AI-assisted coding should reshape language choices.
