The pain of working with Java is immense.

The need of an IDE,
so tightly coupled community with Spring,
the configs you need to set up to get a basic test running,
the code's feedback has to wait until java finishes its build for 30mins+,
old Java, cannot run on newer versions of Java

Hence I would prefer simplicity over complexity. i.e. GO

Well. I don't know what you are implying. I didn't say I prefer Java for everything and I said I prefer it for usecases it is best suited for. Also seems like you have lot of false assumptions about it. Java is not a simple language but its much simpler than Scala. In terms of language complexity Java is slightly more complex than JavaScript and way more complex than Go.
