Or Kotlin. People usually complain about JVM but lots of enterprise software runs on it. Spring boot ecosystem provides lots ready to use libraries. Kotlin can be much easier to use compared to Java. Yes Go can be better language now, but still lacks lots of library and API support. And Rust, I'd rather code in jvm language fast and ship it fast than building up whole infrastructure that takes way more time to implement.

In my main gig we run on kotlin (fintech/accounting saas) and I absolutely despise it, the overhead is massive. But I wouldn't want to write it in golang, we really need proper OOP. It's also so unbearably slow, it's actually impressive. But it is what it is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
