Two things I forgot to add. Most programming languages have ‘linters’. Linters analyze syntactically valid code for mistakes of different types. Mistakes can be something like you forgot to use a variable you created, to you’re performing some operation incorrectly.
Linters are useful in general, but in your case they can help you write better code when you aren’t as familiar with the language. Go has a project called golangci-lint, while TypeScript has eslint.
The second thing is code formatters. Every language has its own formatting style, so it can be nice to have a program that does the formatting for you. Go has gofmt, and TS has Prettier (among others).
These tools add some complexity, but if you set these up you’ll have some extra guard rails as long as you remember to run them, or even better run them as a GitHub Action.
