		meshko on Dec 9, 2015 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Why Go Is Not Good (2014) It's funny that you set Java aside based on something that it does which you do not need. I am not convinced that Go solves any problem that Java can't solve, other then it doesn't have a baggage of 20 years worth of bad open source libraries and a culture of writing 20 layers of abstraction where no layers are needed.

Give Go some time. It's inflexibility will inevitably yield some interesting baggage of its own.
