> usually have lots of layers for organizational reasons

The ridiculous number of layers in Java or C# are more of a skill and guidance issue than anything else. Older languages don’t always mean over-attempted-abstraction (think C, for example).

I have worked in enterprises and the layers are usually an organizational issue that just acts as code issue.

Structure of code often reflects structure of your company.

The code is often maze of layers because the company is a maze of sub-committees. Java/C# fits more neatly in there.

Although with Go, what can happen is that there is a maze of microservices. Maybe that's not that much better.

Never seen CORBA and COM written in C, I guess.

Enterprise Architects will do their beloved architectures with whatever languages are the tool of the day.

Ohhhh boy have I seen that. Like I say, it’s a skill issue, but those people tend to be in Java and C#, not Go and Rust.

Go has Kubernetes ecosystem for that, and Rust is yet to take off as application programming language embraced by Enterprise Architects at big corp.
