Go, Java, Go!
summary
Compares concrete Java vs Go behaviors: Go compiles to native cross-platform binaries (easy cross-compilation, small size), starts and runs far faster (presented ~65% faster), and powers Docker and Kubernetes; Go enforces unused-variable/import errors and a single canonical formatter (gofmt). Shows language specifics: structs + methods (no classes), implicit interface satisfaction, pointers, multiple return values used for no exceptions, explicit error returns, and gRPC + WebAssembly use cases demonstrated end-to-end.
