He says:

- C# Ahead of Time compiler doesn't target all the platforms they want.

- C# Ahead of Time compiler hasn't been stressed in production as many years as Go.

- The core TypeScript compiler doesn't use any classes; Go is functions and datastructures whereas C# is heavily OOP, so they would have to switch paradigms to use C#.

- Go has better control of low level memory layouts.

- Go was ultimately the path of least resistance.
