What Hacker News says?
> Go gets us better performance Than Java? At best, GO performs on par with Java, but is often measured 10-20% slower.[1][2][3] This is usually attributed to the far more mature optimizing compiler in the JVM, which ultimately compiles bytecode down to native machine code, especially for hot paths. Java performance for long running applications is on par with C (one of the reasons it's a primary choice for very high…
