I like the lack of enterprise layers that Java espouses, the simply deploys of a single binary, built in support for JSON and a perform at HTTP server. A code base that is accessible from the high level all the day to the fundamentals of the standard library. If I can’t find documentation, I can read Go code and grok it instantly. There is one style - gofmt style. Honestly, I rarely need genetics and I prefer the simplicity over over-engineered templates classes in Java and C++. If I need to do concurrency, it’s super simple and easier to get performant than Java or C++. Working with junior developers? They can learn Go in a week. Good luck with C++ and to a degree Java with the norm of relying on layers of Beans and XML frameworks.
