Absolutely, but it also has better performance than Go.


For some things. For many things they are pretty equivalent.

And Java uses a lot more memory, which is what the article was talking about adversely impacting execution speed.


It uses memory differently is probably a better explanation.



Beating java in memory usage is like beating a tied-up blindfolded turtle you gave cement shoes and dropped into a toxic vat in the 100 meters walking.

You know, if the turtle was disqualified ahead of time.

Now let's compare how many lines it takes to read in 2 csvs into structs, sort them by their normals and write their vector products out into a new file. I bet java will do < 100 lines and go will be 10 files and > 1000 lines. It'd be about as honest.
