Java also has AOT compilation to native code, if one is willing to pay for such tools (since around 2000, but now there is free beer AOT anyway).

Value types are around the corner and I bet they will be done first than generics in Go.

As I wrote, Java is in the process of adding features that mitigate its problems. My post was pointing out a few things where Go is clearly ahead of Java.

Only on support for value types, everything else Java did it first.

Nah, just when people push their fanboyism against Java, .NET or C++, without actually knowing those ecosystems.
