> Could you expand a bit on why do you think Java has too many features? I think you're asking for technical details, but I'm afraid I don't know Java well enough to do an objective comparison. I'll try with a subjective explanation or why I think so. I've learned Go in 20 minutes following the Go Tour. Few months later, I feel like there isn't a single thing I don't know about Go. It's dead simple. When I open a Go repository, it's easy for me to get into the codebase, as all code is more-or-less the same. I've learned Java back in high school, and to this day I don't feel like I "know" the language. I've tried reading some Java repositories, and every time I feel like there's some kind of friction - some implicit knowledge about it that I just don't understand. Maybe it's just me, and I haven't spent enough time learning Java. But then again, I've spent even less time learning Go, and yet I have a much easier time using it. That's what I mean by "a very small language".
