Java has existed for dramatically longer than Go and is extremely well-supported, both in terms of the core language and the tooling ecosystem.

You need a good reason to get rid of the incumbent, it's not just arbitrary.

IMO there are plenty of reasons for me not to use Java. I could write an essay on it, but the only one that really matters is that for the 4 years that I coded in Java, I didn't enjoy it.

And to suggest Go doesn't offer anything different to Java is just silly.

Curious, what does it offer other than the goroutines and the native compilation?
