> (1) compile faster This isn't really true for non-trivial code bases. And even if it is, it's not a big difference in practice, especially with incremental compilation where I find it actually much quicker to change a couple of files and re-run unit tests compared to golang which has to spit out a multi-dozen MB binary each time, taking 5-6+ seconds. > (2) compile into single binaries with no dynamic links Java is getting AOT compilation which will do the same. > (3) natively support concurrency and parallelism with M:N routines:threads. Java is getting those as well: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~rpressler/loom/loom/sol1_part1.html http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~rpressler/loom/loom/sol1_part1.h...
