Indeed lists 30k Java jobs and 2k golang jobs. OP has a vested interest in marketing their preferred language to increase the availability of jobs for that preferred language.

You kinda skipped the relevant part of my question.

Does arguing on the internet with Java fans increase Go's usage at hypothetical person's work?

If more people in the industry appreciate concise and powerful languages that reward deep expertise, I am more likely to find paid work where I can be happy and productive in the future. I started in C, and it’s pretty alarming to see an impoverished language gaining market share after years of progress; that’s why I argue the bar should be getting higher for new languages in production.
