Beyond a certain project size, GraalVM compiles to the same binary size as Go. Many k8s projects produce binary sizes of >100MB. I think this is because LOC in Go scales poorly.
Go's real edge over Java is in memory consumption, not in performance or binary size. Yet, this is also mostly true at the small-scale level. The edge again disappears for large projects needing large heaps.
