Well, you came off sounding kind of arrogant. I'm not sure what this has to do with the discussion. There are many valid uses of java that can be done in go, regardless of its popularity. There are many valid uses of java that can not be replicated in go, regardless of its popularity. You can swap out that criticism with pretty much any language built in or after the 90s and it's still just as valid.

I mean, feel free to critique—it could very well be at its peak popularity and cannot take ANY MORE java marketshare—but this still requires argument.
