Few months ago I asked on Twitter “why you think Java is complex?” to understand others perspective. I'm really surprised looking at so many people assuming #Java is complex than other languages. I worked with mostly Java and in recent years I worked with Go, NodeJS too. But I feel Java is less complex and more productive. Any specific points why you think Java is complex? — Siva (@sivalabs) April 1, 2022 And, I got many responses(opinions, insights) and I compiled all the responses into this blog post My attempt to understand why people perceive Java as complex.

Java is and has been the primary programming language I have used throughout my career. If I want to build something quick for a prototype or if I need to pick the tech stack with a tight deadline then Java is my first choice. Especially after Java 8 it becomes more and more feature rich and powerful. On top of it with frameworks like SpringBoot, Quarkus and Micronaut building enterprise grade applications becomes a breeze.

Gone are the days we can call ourselves as Java developer, .NET developer, Python developer etc. Nowadays we might need to work with multiple languages to some extent such as Python for scripting, Go for CLI utilities etc. Out of personal interest I started learning Go Language 3 months ago and I am using Go for our current application. In this article I would like to share my first impression on Go language.
