Very interesting. I wish they had gone into a little more detail about the other technologies involved.

Was the Java Service in Spring (boot)?

What other technologies were considerd?

I'd assume Go was among them. Was it just the fact that Go's type system is to simplistic or what were the other factors?

Swift is Apple's own language. They have all the experts from lowest to highest level .

Writing a long winded report/article for fair technical evaluation of competing technologies would utter waste of time and no one would believe if answer were still Swift.

I don't see any reason to evaluate Go at all.

Apple maintains servicetalk[1] (java networking framework built on top of netty), so I'm guessing this is one potential JVM framework that was being used.
