So a lot of the complaints are not entirely true anymore.

If you onboard lombok, you get data classes, which resolves the property boilerplate. If you use IntelliJ the code is generated.

I used Java and Go and I have to admit, that Java feels like the more practical language.

Generics and error-handling are really painful in Go.

The most painful part in Java is having to deal with other people's code that makes it look weird. Google has a very good set of libraries that make the Java world much more pleasant.
