Points taken. I am full time on Go since few years ago and before that I was 100% Java. Haven't really kept myself up-to-date with the Java land.

But from my experience with Java, Go, and Python, I find Go a very versatile programming language. Being able to compile binaries means it's great for infrastructure deployments and CLI tools. Goroutines, concurrency, and etc make it a great choice for server/micro service use cases as well. Some can say that not having a JVM is a plus as well.

However, developers do have to be disciplined with error handling and dependency management. But one can argue that this is the case for software development in general.
