Yes the simplest being writing a loop to filter or map. In go you will be writing full loops and intermediate variables. I'm not going to list the go versions because I'm on mobile. In Java: arr.stream().map(SomeClass::someFn).collect(toList()) How about writing a min function for all number types? In go due to no generics you'd have to write a function for every type. In Java: static <T extends Number> T min(T a, T b) { if (a < b) return a; return b; } My comment was more tongue in cheek at the guy above me for stating "facts" though.
