> Did projects in language de jour (i.e. Java) and hated it

Because there is one thing Go isn't is "le language du jour" (ou du mois) ??? Come on.

Personally, I'd still be betting on Java which has really become better and simpler to work with/deploy compared to 10 years ago, it's especially true for web apps, and has the largest ecosystem of all languages. Go is nice, but has a poor ecosystem for enterprise integration, its type system is the reason why it will never replace languages such as Java.
