I personally believe every programmer should feel comfortable using one interpreted language and one compiled language. That said, what are the thoughts from the community on Google's golang vs C++ or Java?
Is go a decent choice? Have you used it?

Yeah -- the JVM does make JAVA extremely portable to different architectures. Probably one of its biggest strengths. The only issues I've ever come across with Java is garbage collection issues (Stop the World, etc.)
a lot of work went into GC on the JVM over the years, and there are even different types of GC engines available nowadays. ZGC that was introduced in Java 11 has an average pause time of 1ms and a max of 4ms while G1 average pause was 200ms.
