No, I had chosen Go for that problem. My reasoning was that most of the code I've read or written in the past 2 years has been Go, so it seemed like I should focus on using a language where I was warmest.

But in retrospect I would have preferred Java. That's my fault.

If you did, I wonder if you would regret choosing Java over Go for other reasons. I tend to find that no matter what language I choose, there's some parts of the code that I would prefer to be able to write in a different language.

There is no final nirvana language. That is the awful truth of existence.
