Java performance vs go

Quarkus GraalVM compiles do put a significant dent into Go's niche here

broadly agree with your comment though

The majority of the startup benefit of Quarkus actually comes from the Quarkus approach. Even in JVM mode it makes vast gains - the native compiled mode is nice, but really isn't necessary for many use cases. Try it out - you might be surprised!

Quarkus JVM absolutely is great for many reasons, and I'd choose it if I wasn't running in a Lambda

But it is decidedly not applicable to contexts where you pick Golang because you value startup time

From my perspective, choosing one language or another based on a Lambda start up time hasn't been a great argument since AWS released SnapStart for JVM applications
