That's a really good summary. I didn't pick C# in part because it feels more tied to Microsoft and Windows than I wanted the book's language to be. Java (to me at least) feels fairly platform and corporation independent.

If you would have prefered I pick Go, you'll definitely like Thorsten Ball's two books.

Choosing a language for books is really hard these days. There are so many choose from and most are quite large and complex, so it's hard to find a single language that is familiar to a large enough segment of the audience.
