#2I beg to differ, not that Go doesn't have its place, but I think they can't even be compared.

#4I'll say it again:
If java was brainf&%k and we still got the JVM out of it, it would all be worth it. And I think there's a good chance that Java's successor runs on it.

#5I don't think Go is a replacement for Java.

Totally agree that the JVM is super powerful. I think it's Java's greatest strength. However, I don't see any current JVM language as a potential replacement. Scala is too complex. Clojure, while wonderful, is Lisp and no one has been able to make that popular for 5 decades (not even pg).

#8I still don't understand the hate of Java. No language is perfect. No OS is perfect. No system is perfect. Some like, some don't.
And I agree with carsongross, the JVM is worth all the hate thrown at it and it still active developed and I think it will go nowhere.

#9If anything Go is the successor of C, Java has nothing to do with Go.
