Maybe I come from a different world, but these numbers seem pretty good. If you compare C++ and Go, C++ is 3x-1x faster than Go using more code. For most applications that you'd expect to use Go for, that's decent efficiency at a smaller memory footprint than Java. Enough, certainly, to make a high-performance server that uses less RAM than Java and less code than C++.
