I’m thinking Go or Rust would be the logical next step. They probably won’t want an interpreted language so Python is out.
Just curious, what about go or rust makes them the logical next choice and not java? What do go or rust do better that java doesn't?
Java is an Oracle honey pot, a royal sustainment PIA, massive security liability, clutters up systems with its nonsense and slow as shit.
“dear diary, despite running on a system with 1TB of RAM, a routine security patch reset the Java max memory quota and now every Java process stops after 256MB of object allocation. All four threads ran out of memory with 999GB RAM free. Thank you for this wonderful and blessed gift of computational ineptitude, amen.”
If they don't want interpreted Java is out too
Rust - absolutely.
