I have plenty of programming experience beyond Java and Go :). Currently I am mostly a Lisp programmer, that is why I consider the existence of closures and fun

  But Java has closures (including type inference), and they're at least as idiomatic in Go, not to mention that all Java collections have map/filter/reduce. As to functions, all Java requires is that they be defined as static members of some class, which is no different than defining them in some namespace. Thanks to static imports, they don't have to be qualified when called. So, not only is this not a huge differentiator, this is not a differentiator at all.
