I've found Go programs to be pretty concise, in the general case. Low on boilerplate code and high in readability (in the sense that you can see what something does relatively quickly because there is very little standard boilerplate around the functionally relevant code). It is clumsy at some stuff, and doesn't do some kinds of abstraction, so you might have to repeat yourself some, but comparing it to Java? That's not something I've seen anyone who's worked in both do, I don't think.
