I did. Did Go professionally for ~5 years and went to JVM.

Go is easy, but it's surface level easy. Building and maintaining large applications in Go if you don't have a huge team is a giant pain.

JVM (especially paired with Kotlin) for me atleast has meant regaining the expressivity I was missing from Ruby and Python when I moved to Go whilst retaining (well actually usually beating) it on performance and scalability.

I lost absolutely nothing to go to JVM but gained so many things.
