Genuine question, from ignorance: How does Go create less garbage than Java? I can certainly appreciate that a lot of the common frameworks used in JEE development may be memory-hogs, but the language itself?

just iterating:

  for (Object o: collection) {

causes memory allocation.

If you are interested, android team at had several talks at Google I/O (not just 2012) about optimizing memory usage.
