I know this is supposed to be a negative comment, but I don't think this is a bad thing

I was not sure if people are gonna perceive it as negative... I absolutely love Java... my main point was that Java was already way ahead of the curve...

Some languages do it better, but it's really not a problem. It's just verbose, but people say that about Java and that never stopped it from being used everywhere

You can't terminate goroutines like individual threads, but there's no good reason to anyway. They designed the context system to be able to signal across goroutines and do cleanup that way

Can't relate, I love Go

I'm a big fan of `go fix`, such a nice thing for big projects

Same. Go feels like the language that does everything I like about Java with a lot more control than Java gives

I think you're gonna like it a lot more now. The language has gained a lot of nice things since they added generics

This was one of the times where it made some sense. A lot of their complaints were about GC, which Discord has had issues with in the past on other things. Notably, Discord switched from Cassandra to ScyllaDB for their messages, and cited the Java GC as a big reason.

I think it only really happens when companies run into GC problems
