Aren’t JVM language equally simple? Just a fat JAR.

You're forgetting Java.

But nowadays it's pretty much installed everywhere? If not installed yet - it's a really easy and quite unobtrusive to install, one-liners in many OSes. So in the strict practical sense, is that such a big difference? What, extra 300MB for storing JVM? Who cares with 2TB commodity harddrives? (unless you're embedded, but then you wouldn't use Java or Go usually).

The JVM adds 64 MiB if compressed, for comparison, node.JS with CEF adds 280 MiB

Only if we are speaking about versions older than Java 9.

Java 9 added linking support for custom runtimes.

Java isn’t required for the JVM of course. Scala is pretty great. I’ll throw my hat in the ring for C# on .NET Core. Just need the dotnet binary to init, build, install, restore, run. It’s like if node included npm in the same binary.
