Yeah there is a lot of freedom that comes from a smaller set of choices. Java is so vast and so many libraries it is overwhelming and solutions are usually over engineered. With Go its nice to just write some code.

I am a C# developer. I don't like that the number of features and frameworks is increasing with every new release. It's overwhelming.

I tried Go, but I couldn't get into it. I don't know why. I guess it's like leaving prison. You can't go anywhere. Then suddenly you can go anywhere you like, but you feel paralyzed. The freedom itself is also overwhelming.
