If you write Java just like you would write Go - meaning, no reflection shenanigans, use Jigsaw to cut out unneeded JVM stuff, or use GraalVM and compile natively (which you will be able to, because you did not use any of JVM reflection magic), Java will absolutely be competitive.

A language's culture and philosophical choices are tied to the language itself as much as syntax or compiler, so maybe the largest difference between languages like Java and Go is really the whole developer attitude and aesthetic choices.
