On: Lessons learned porting 50k loc from Java to Go

[severino]

With "porting" I guess he doesn't mean replacing one codebase with another one, but creating another client in a different language. In fact, he states

The objective of the port was to keep it as close as possible to Java code base, as it needs to be kept in sync with Java changes in the future

so it doesn't look like they are ditching their Java client.
