Startup times are largely going to be a thing of the past in Java9. Improved code cache, out of the box optional AOT compilation, and the modularization work is going to be great.

I am running several (albeit Kotlin) daemons right now that are using less than 256MB of ram on my machine. Everything on the JVM is configurable.

At some point, I think it's just simply a matter of taste. If you want to be closer to the metal, then Java (and I'd even argue Go) isn't really the right language for that.
