It's true. Go is basically Java/C# with its runtime baked into the binary. Also, it's only marginally faster than Java.

I never understood Go. I was sold as the C killer and failed, now it's basically an alternative to Erlang/Elixir, but suddenly people started running around and saying "Noooo, it was never meant to be a systems programming language like C!!!"
