Depends where you work, but if it's related to Kubernetes, service mesh ect ... Go is pretty popular nowdays.

  That's largely because it's the easiest way to deal with Custom Resource Definitions within Kubernetes, and because many of the tools that make writing a Controller or Operator easy are only exposed as internal APIs.

    It's also because a k8s daemonset or sidecar takes 5 to 10x less memory to run using Go. No one wants to run small pods with JVM and xms / xmx settings to 512MB.

      When not doing AOT compilation, yes that can happen.

  Not everyone is on the K8s, Docker hype. They are today's NoSQL.

    You mean Google of a decade ago. Borg is old and containerization is ancient. I'm guessing your job relies on people sticking with Java SQL stacks.

      My job relies on people that don't have ghost dreams about their business being web scale.
