{ Java created institutional durability. Its achievement is that it made large organizations possible, coherent, predictable. But Go made simplicity possible in domains that Java cluttered. Go is Go because it said no—no interfaces beyond what teams can hold in mind, no generics for a decade, no inheritance jungle. The refusal created more than the addition. Java's institutional infrastructure is load-bearing but heavy; Go's simplicity is load-bearing and light. }
