honestly I have hard time comparing go to java and finding any valuable reason to switch from one to another.
Go in my opinion was not mean for writing large/distributed web applications. But instead for writing tools (and fits very nicely in that space) and therefore replace C code base.
If I had to write something like docker, go of course would be a natural choice for it. But If I had to write the next big social network, well Java would be the natural choice.
Java has a much larger community, libraries, tools, ide and a whole ecosystem that makes Java and JVM a solid platform for writing application at scale (large team, large code base).
- Roboprog 11y agoMAYBE. But maybe not: what if your app has a Javascript based rich client, and the back end is primarily micro-services? Does Java still shine for that kind of a stack? (OK, I would still avoid C, but that's not saying much)
