I used to do Java about a decade ago and because it was in a corporate environment, add about 5+ years of using outdated Java on top of that. Web applications are what I do, have been doing for 25 years and I use Ruby/Rails now.

I do want to do something meaningful/professional with Go but haven't gotten around to trying it out. I also sort of feel most programming language additions aren't game changers these days. Much like smart phones, the killer feature days are over, small incremental additions are nice.

The killer feature to me is using AI for tedious tasks or syntax I don't remember and in that respect I do wonder if Java would be easier to deal with than what I remember.
