Come on, I can honestly have a hard time taking anyone seriously that says that Go is a better designed language. Like, at times I even question the “designed” part. They managed to create a more verbose Java 1.1 (yes, this is objectively true), with even more footguns than it had at the time. Oh, and it is absolutely not more performant than Java for most use cases - sure, it is a good choice for very basic server applications that barely allocate anything, but complex applications where allocations are significant will absolutely run faster with Java.
