Building Web Apps in Go

Java memory usage is not really that high if a bar to beat.

Dropbox just rewrote parts of their Go infra into Rust explicitly because of the memory savings they needed.

Yes, but the rewrite would have happened ever sooner if the original code had been written in Java instead of Go. The Dropbox case is really very specific and very low-level.

Well.. yes, exactly. The question was "why should I learn Go if I know Java?" That's a pretty good reason.
