Well, dandy! Since the performance gap is that big, it should be trivial to get hard data backing that up. Mind linking some representative benchmarks?
Dang, I just can't wait, same resource usage for Go and Java (RAM in particular, if you would), and Java performance that "blows Go out of the water".

Oh? But you're comparing apples to oranges.
Go builds its source into a machine code executable, all optimizations are applied at this step. This then gets directly executed by the CPU.
Java "builds" its source into bytecode. It's a trivial transformation that then needs to actually be compiled and optimized by a virtual machine at runtime before the CPU can run it.
So then, what build time does Java have when doing AOT compilation? Again, hard numbers please, thanks.

Very believable statements, given that you literally work on Java for Oracle :) No need to bother to make a disclaimer about that I guess. Shameless.
