Thank You, Guido

Java 8+ is so easy to work with I think it bores a lot of people so they go looking for something more. Spring boot + jooq is easy to work with and breaking changes are slow.

I'm also coming around on Go. The simplicity was a turn off at first, but now that I've used it to implement a graphql server I like the simplicity. I don't want to have to be a programming language researcher to quickly get work done. IMO Go delivers in that mission.

Java is paid platform without clear pricing, licensing and patents.

Many (most) JDK distributions are free for all usages and fully open source.

Can you give some references for the patents issue you mentioned?

So you agreed pricing and licensing is not clear? If still not, here is the source https://upperedge.com/knowledge-center/documents/oracle-podc... As for the patents I don't have a source quickly available. Pricing and licensing are already bad enough. If I sell java based software, customers have to worry about licensing from Oracle. If I sell SaS I have to worry for what and how to pay. Those factors are big risks.
