Wouldn't agree on the GO statement, yes GO is great in terms of performance but it still lacks some important language features AFAIK no generics, no proper exception handling. I honestly don't know how the GO ecosystem is, but I can't imagine it's as mature as java. Perhaps I'm wrong tho

> no proper exception handling.

That's just like saying Go does not have application servers, DI, IOC, ORM frameworks, runtime reflection and so on. Different languages have different ways of achieving user requirements. It is not one-to-one matching.

Yes, depending on perspective, not as mature or not as fossilized as Java.

I’ve removed that part of the post as I don’t want to make this about go :)
