> Difference between Go and Java, Java drives developers to write bloated code.

Nothing in Java drives you to write bloated code with tons of classes. javac will not throw an error if you write proper simple code.

If you chose, or were forced by bad team culture somewhere, to write 20 classes for what should've been one function, that's a people problem. Java didn't make you do it.

That team who loves complex overengineering so much will do the same thing in whatever language they switch to someday.

No. Nothing about Java drives developers to write bloated code. You can write simple and concise code in Java, and i do.

Unfortunately Spring is a de-facto part of the language, for most enterprise codebases.

In ~20 years of developing in Java, I've never used Spring. It's certainly not a de-facto part of the langauge.

> Difference between Go and Java, Java drives developers to write bloated code. Bunch of abstract classes, interfaces, fancy inheritance, getters/setters, OOP patterns, classes for anything and everything .. all in a different file.

Or you could just not do that. The Java culture is heavy on those things, but nothing forces you to participate in this if you're building from the ground-up.
