Yes I had the exact same question. Philosophically I like Go better but I worry in practice that Java has me spoiled

- rad_gruchalski 3y agoThe Go ecosystem has everything one needs. The cryptography stuff is nicer than any Java library (sorry BouncyCastle), first class tls everywhere, very decent http client/server support and tons community routers, third-party collections are easy to come by, ssh in standard library, any package from the internet can be directly pulled as a dependency, packages can be renamed without the need of shadowing, kafka clients, any cloud sdk, everything what one can imagine. I was a heavy java snd scala user before 2018 and 5 years later I’m not missing anything. For what it’s worth, life got easier when I moved to Go.
