Java absolutely does not fill in the niche that Go targeted. Even without OO theology, JVM applications are heavy and memory intensive. Plus the startup time of the VM alone is a show stopper for the type of work I do. Also yes, Java isn’t hip and you couldn’t pay me to write it anymore.
The old OOP testament was written by Smalltalk and C++ apostles, then the school of Objective-C belivers was found, and some of the scholars helped with the new Java religion.
