Nonsense. On moderate-large codebases Go is not 5x more expressive/succinct than Java. Maybe 1.5x if you are lucky.

Please point me to the large codebase your ported from Java to Go -- if you don't have actual data, just two people making up idiotic numbers let me get involved.

Go is 185175% better than Java and 8165% better than Haskell -- or making up numbers just makes us all look like goddamn idiots.
