I don't have the time to, nor do I care to, evaluate the legitimacy of their benchmarking suite. But, are you honestly suggesting that Java hasn't had dramatic

  Here's what you claimed - "but when you weight by funding, compiled languages clean house". But you don't seem to have any information at all on $$$ amounts spent on the development of compiled languages (C, C++, Fortran, ...) compared to others (Java). Obviously you don't know what would result "when you weight by funding".

    If you want to ask the GCC folk for an estimate of how much of their development has been done while on the payroll of other companies, feel free to do so. I expect you will find that it is somewhere within a few orders of magnitude as what was spent on Java by Sun in the past 2 decades. In short, my suggestion is that shittons of money has been spent on Java while relatively little money has been spent on Go. Yet somehow they are currently pretty evenhanded. You haven't been able to provide any sources that suggest other than this rather sensible claim. Funny how that works.

        Not in the slightest. Do you wish to address it?
