Java has decade(s) of cruft and breaking changes which LLMs were trained on. It's hard to compare. Plus Go compilation speed/test running provides quick iteration for LLMs.

All you need is a JAVA_CODING_GUIDELINES.md with some hints about what kind of Java code you like the agent to write.
breaking changes? hardly.
Yes, breaking changes. And many ways to do the same thing because the language kept evolving (thankfully).
There is a decently long list of breaking changes now. Removing JavaEE modules from the JDK, and restricting sun.misc.Unsafe, are the ones people usually run into.
These are relatively small-scoped library changes only though.
Meanwhile Go already had a language change, while being less than half its age (loop variable capture).
