I love how these people think I have a choice in languages to use, or that I haven’t tried several others as well and honestly don’t mind the idea of Java. My company wants to make money don’t cutting edge algorithms, not test out Google’s language du jour.



> I love how these people think I have a choice in languages to use

Probably because you wrote, "At my workplace, we’re thinking about using it" and not "my workplace is demanding we use it"

> or that I haven’t tried several others

(I'm not the person who replied and suggested Go, but your comment does make it sound like you are in the language-evaluation phase, not the "we're fully committed to Java after reviewing multiple options" phase)


My friend, I specifically asked for good Java resources, but did not ask for other opinions. Those who suggested other languages were just cutting in to the conversation. I don’t care about their reasoning, I just wanted to learn Java.


Then you should have ended the comment at the question mark:

"Is there a good guide to learning modern Java?"

The end. YOU obfuscated your own comment with everything after it.
