I guess the JVM is just too sophisticated for my taste.

I think Mies van der Rohe, if he were a coder, would like Go for all the same reasons that Java programmers don't like it.

Like I said, this is religion.

If Java works for you, phenomenal.

I'm not a big fan of languages that become corporate standards, or languages that are now controlled by companies like Oracle.

Perhaps this is just rebellion without cause... but I'm pretty happy worshiping my gods.

He would rather design chairs than use Clojure.
