I think it has less to do with the languages themselves, and more to do with the frameworks available, and the metaprogram-y things those frameworks are free to do without a type system stopping them.

I've yet to see the equivalent of Django or Rails when it comes to rapidly assembling a database-backed CRUD app in a statically typed language.

My job has internal tool that reads MySQL schemas and outputs a CRUD golang api and json-based form uis to interact with them.

I think it could be it's own product, but leadership doesn't care.

I assure you, it could not be its own product- but it could be its own open source project.
That is what I meant, don't know why I put product. Too many meetings.
I am working as a java developer now for about 3 years. Before I worked 5 years with rails. You are completely right, a spring boot application with Lombok doesn’t come near a rails application. Also what people tend to oversee is that the recompilation step really takes a lot of time.
