Go Vs Java Benchmark

Desclamer

I have 9 YEARS of experience in Java and 3 DAYS of experience in Go. This comparision might be highly biased.

What is compared here.

• Ease of coding
• Execution Time
• Memory used

What is being done here ? 

I recently(3 days ago) started to learn Go and wanted to know if Go is actually as good as its publisized. So, in order to learn along with testing I translated one Java project into Go and did some benchmarking on it. Below are the results. 

Machine Used here is Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6500U CPU @ 2.50GHz ( 2 physical cores and 4 cores with hyperthreading ).

My understanding of Go (based on 3 days) :

Go is better C. Go cherry picked good parts of C, Java, Python along with adding new concepts like goroutines

Go seems very simple if you know C & Java. 

Results

	Go	Java
Serial Execution(Seconds)	86	171
Parallel Execution(Seconds)	105	207
Memory(MB)	3112	4423

Conclusion : 

Go is really useful for small projects with relatively small code, I think as the code become big with large number of functionality managing code might be little difficult.
Go is easy to code and relatively very efficient compared to Java.
