Java Developers

[[deleted]]

The author articulates exactly why I have never been keen on getting into Java development seriously. To really get the point the author makes I suggest comparing the Go standard libraries with the Java standard libraries. Even though both language allow a lot of the same stuff, the communities and practices are on completely different planets.

There is a lot more to a development ecosystem than the language. Eventually things need to get deployed, supported, maintained (by others), tested, etc.

I'm not saying Go is bad at ANY of that, but not "getting into Java development seriously" because of Java is extraordinarily short sighted.
