>From my experience, Java is about 30% slower than C++ running in byte-code
mode. However, if compiled Java program into native executables (not the
simple exe wrapper), the gap is only at about 10%. Comparing the computer
speed increase is much more than 10% in half year, and programming
efficiency using Java is at least 30% higher than C++, write GO program in
Java is a better choise than in C++.

Chrilly,

I'm no  expert on  this but I  think speed  is always critical  in any
game.  Speed and memory are  to computers what intelligence is to man.
..
I think what you  are seeing with Java is not that  it is suited to go
programming, it's just very popular.  It's not particularly expressive
OR fast, but it's a good  compromise in both directions.
