Go's entire selling point is "faster than python, no need to learn anything new". In terms of language features it's again living in the 80's - Java got generics in 2004 and Java was way behind the times. In terms of speed it's worse than Java and Rust, maybe comparable to Haskell. This is not true, go is generally slightly faster than java (while using less memory_ and slightly slower than rust. The garbage collector is slower than java's default collector but has better latency but java's gc can be tuned and go gives you better tools to bypass gc partially or entirelly.
