As an experienced Java programmer , I decided to do a project in Golang to see for myself what the hype was all about. And it was...underwhelming. The Go plugin for VScode barely works - terribly slow, inconsistent autocomplete, hanging during debugging etc. I had to pay for Goland just to get a reasonable experience which is still worse than Java+IntelliJ community edition.
Language wise - you need for loops for everything, no maps or streams. Also where are the concurrent collections in the stdlib?
I wonder if all the Go love here is from people who never worked in earnest with Java ? Or only worked with dynamic languages before?
