Go strikes a really nice balance between verbosity and conciseness. Java, I feel, could be a little more concise... All the ByteArrayOutputStream outputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream() is a bit much, but other parts, such as not having true "properties" (and rather fields), is actually nice in my eyes.

var outputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream()

? :)

Some of the machines I use can't update to Java 9 since it broke backward-compatability with using Java internal libraries, esp if I want to use tools like jd-gui
