No thanks. Go is much simpler. Rust is much smaller. Java can go die in the office storage closet.
- krzyk 10mo agoGo and "simpler"? Really? C is simpler, Python is simpler, but Go?
- jen20 10mo agoYes - Go is both a simpler language than Java which does not lend itself to (nor does the ecosystem tolerate) the kind of architectural malpractice that enterprise Java typically becomes.

Go was originally designed to make life easier for googlers and make software engineering easy. In 2025, I can attest to the fact that Go is simple. Go is easy. Whether you can accomplish what you want in Go is another story. However, Go has a very basic structure and easy flow. Complexity comes from not understanding the go philosophy.
