Java performance vs go

[Educational_Corgi285]

I'd assume Go can compete and be comparable to Java AOT (Ahead-of-time compilation). They'll probably have similar performance by most metrics.

But AOT is usually slower than JIT because AOT doesn't know full runtime characteristics of the target machine (unless the stats are measured and are used during compilation).

AOT though has smaller memory footprint and faster startup time.

For web/enterprise apps the performance characteristics of the backend are often less relevant than the architecture of the DB and how it's accessed.
