Go doesn't use less resources then Java (Source: Google [1]). Go is only marginally ~10% faster then Java [2] [1] https://days2011.scala-lang.org/sites/days20

  > Go doesn't use less resources then Java It obviously does. Java's strings and other objects representation, JNI coersions, necessary copying of buffers, common aliasing bugs in code which affects GC, bloatware of dependencies, etc, etc. Knowledge of some principles protects one from being distracted by noise.

    > common aliasing bugs in code which affects GC Care to elaborate?

  Your second link shows Java used about 1.7 to 30 times more memory than Go.

  > Go doesn't use less resources then Java You point to measurements [2] that show Go programs (for tasks that need memory to be allocated -- reverse-complement, regex-dna, k-nucleotide, binary-trees) using 2-3x less memory!
