If you need relatively high performance but can tolerate it not being 100% in exchange for nice things like GC, use Go. Where does Java fit in?

- umanwizard 8y agoJava has existed for dramatically longer than Go and is extremely well-supported, both in terms of the core language and the tooling ecosystem. You need a good reason to get rid of the incumbent, it's not just arbitrary.
- jazoom 8y agoIMO there are plenty of reasons for me not to use Java. I could write an essay on it, but the only one that really matters is that for the 4 years that I coded in Java, I didn't enjoy it. And to suggest Go doesn't offer anything different to Java is just silly.
- noncoml 8y agoCurious, what does it offer other than the goroutines and the native compilation?
