How have you found Go in contrast to Java. Is the simplicity worth it?

[jatone]

yes. golang is actually less restrictive than java. and avoids a ton of the bullshit abstractions you see in every java code base.

>ton of the bullshit abstractions

Not sure how that's the Java's problem. Most of these abstraction come older frameworks. You can have these same abstraction/design pattern in Go also.
