This comparison is more about the different gRPC implementations rather than the languages. There is no inherent reason why Java (as a language) should be faster than C++ or Rust in a benchmark like this. A lot of time and money have been spent optimizing Java (or HotSpot), but only because Java is really hard to optimize compared to GC-less low level languages.
