> In reality Go can fully take over Java's problem space.

Or, when Project Loom releases, Java will be able to fully take over Go's problem space.

Sorry, my previous post sounded like I was picking a favorite, what I meant is that Go and Java pretty much has identical problem space.

Not really, unless it provides generics, JEE and Spring like frameworks, supports all embedded CPUs, Oracle/SQL Server/DB2, mainframes, has an OS of its own, a GUI half as good as Swing,....

there is no way that's happening, outside of silicon valley practically no one is using Go, there are millions Java developers who are quite content with language...

Not without generics it can't. I know a lot of people seem to think that generics aren't necessary in Go, but I vehemently disagree with them.
