- bluejekyll 4y agoI’ve always seen Go as far more like Java than C. They facilitate the use cases. Go isn’t a good C replacement for mostly the same reasons Java is not. People are adopting Kotlin, I’ve seen many coworkers using it for new projects. It becomes a bit more complex if you’re trying to integrate it into an existing large code base, of which there are many in Java.

- bluejekyll 4y agoYou should go read about embedded Java: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embedded_Java https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embedded_Java or define what you mean by system programming.

Even Android 13 update to a newer Java 11 LTS subset seems to be caused by not losing the ability to use specific Java libraries than anything else.
