I'll have to give it another look if the situation presents itself. I think one factor of Java being remembered so unfavorably was it being early in my career.

I do think there should be a distinction on what is lumped as verbosity. Golang is vertically verbose with its error checking, and Java in my experience is at least more horizontally verbose (long lines).

I'm curious how you come to this conclusion. Granted I never wrote much Java (and not in the last 10 years), but it was painfully verbose at the time. I've never had that reaction while writing golang (which over the last 3 years I've done a decent amount). Has Java gotten much more succinct?

Nice work, that program is no joke.

A number of years ago I had a great boss who was trying to target hire someone so he made a ridiculous job req asking for expertise in “git’s, gat’s, gots.” It was a defense job

We took this approach with the first version of a from-scratch hypervisor at my last job. Portions of the hypervisor were separated into different shared libraries and we wrote a custom ELF loader to do the relocations. It was interesting but ultimately it was scratched in favor of a large static binary.
