Problem is, in most companies "languages for teams" means "languages for the JVM". What is the Go-like team language for the JVM?

I agree with you when you say in most companies "languages for teams" means "languages for the JVM"

But I am curious, is that just out of familiarity or are there things that JVM ecosystem has that are just not there elsewhere?

I understand that some of the distributed data processing ecosystem (Kafka et al) are _built_ on JVM but there's nothing inherently stopping people from using these things from other languages.
