You cant seriously compare JVM to the Go runtime. The JVM is on another level in size, complexity and bulkiness and size for a "compiled binary".

The Go runtime is mostly just for goroutines and other runtime stuff, like relection etc.

A go hello world binary is around 1mb, while the java one is (with a jre) up and around 50mb.
