Those problems were solved by Java over a decade ago in a nearly identical way.

Either you don't know Java or you don't know Go, because the way the two do things almost couldn't be more different. The JVM and the requirement that every non-primitive be a class that inherits from Object are not small differences.

Just because they solve the same problems differently, doesn't mean they don't solve the same problems.

I love Java but it did introduce us (which may have occurred naturally over time) to new subsets of problems, which may in the future as well be referred to as traits.

Could you elaborate? Go feels nothing like Java to me.
