Go Creeping In - Hackdot

I agree with almost everything you said. However, there is one point where I think you're wrong: the only advantage Go still has over java (as it exists today) is the size of the runtime - you can get a Go container serving an HTTP server in ~10MBs of size and similar amounts of RAM - this is still a far cry from what I've seen Java achieve.

This is not important in many use cases, but if you are planning to run a microservices architecture, this can help a lot with horizontal scaling costs.

You might want to check out: https://quarkus.io/ or https://micronaut.io/ for that :)

yes, these are very promising projects, but they are just starting out this year unfortunately. I hope they will prove to be stable and close enough to the OpenJDK as time goes, but I wouldn't bet a new product on them just yet, unfortunately.
