Bun might make Go redundant

I picked up Golang last year - I shipped an “embedded” app across a few hundred kiosks at DFW airport, and Go’s ability to compile down to a single exe across platforms was a big enabler. But with the 1.2 release of Bun, I’d probably use that instead. Bun’s got the same compilation capability now, comparable performance and is rapidly providing a rich standard library. I also find Typescript more enjoyable than Go (just personal preference). Makes me wonder what the future looks like for Go.
