Oracle and the fall of Java EE

I'm not familiar with either Java nor Golang, but I'd love to hear what you're looking at when you see shortcomings in Golang. I am genuinely curious and are very interested in what enterprises are looking at when they are browsing new tech.

My mother is a COBOL programmer for one of the largest banks in the EU, and I always enjoy listening to her explaining their systems (IBM Mainframe, Batch processing, etc).

Not many. The only deal breaker I've hit is the inability to return multiple result sets with the built in SQL package.

I haven't missed generics that muc, but it would be nice to be able to do things like sorting without implementing a sorter interface.

I can live with this though because everything I've written in go so far had been easy to reason about and most importantly it "just works". I can read anyone's code an understand what it's doing. Can't really say that's been true in the 25 years I've been doing this.

I would enjoy a lot reading her stories, you should write those on a blog.

Would be really fun and informative writing a post about her work! I'm gonna ask her tomorrow! :)
