I somewhat agree, but Java grew up in a different era when communication about these things wasn't as easy. It's hard to change the direction of something as large and widely deplo…

> More seriously, what are you missing in Go that is well-done in Java? 1. Generics. And yea, I know Go is getting generics "Real Soon Now" (tm), but it is incredibly annoying to w…

Java gets a bad rap from people that used it late 90's through early 2000's and got burned out by XML and design pattern heavy frameworks but its a lovely language that with a litt…

You don't really need to hold out hope for this... it is coming and soon. It's been in active progress for years now (its a huge undertaking).

Thats why he said many not all.

Azures blob service supports the first one. Its strongly consistent and has a lease/lock API. Ive seen leader election and coordination stuff built on top of it.
