Hello there !

I want to code a little incremental game just for me and some friends, and i started prototyping this in Go (because i know how to use it) but i was thinking that maybe run it in a browser and then use typescript would be better

I have no experience in making games and in javascript, i mostly code for backend and math stuff (my favorite gui is a terminal), and when i need a real gui i use pure html page edited by backend

So i was wondering what would be easier between learning making game in Go, or learning JS/TS for an incremental game (pictures and numbers and text, maybe little animations), and if javascript is still relevant to learn

Thanks !

(Also im a student, so my knowledge of the professional dev world is quite limited, forgive my approximative wording :b)

    JS is pretty easy to learn and there are SO many resources out there that will allow you pick it up easily so why not? Plus as someone who has been a web dev for decades now HTML, CSS, and JS are very valuable to learn. CSS especially as even many none web based stuff in the FOSS community utilize it for config customization. All of which is very easy to learn and then it opens you up for stuff outside of game dev like web development and webapp development.
