Hi, I'd love to see some discussion about this as well: I've struggled to justify the JVM in a production environment that's dominated by Go. My experience with my team has been that they are very unwilling to use the JVM and will go to great lengths to avoid it. The argument seems to be that Go produces light, extremely fast binaries, and has phenomenal networking libraries built into the standard lib, making it ideal for writing server-side components that may handle large amounts of data and need to scale horizontally. Despite my attempts to have members of my team checkout Clojure the final decision has always been to use Go instead. I'm personally a bit concerned that Go has started to become the replacement for Java and that the relevance of the JVM may be declining. It would be great to see some counterpoints to Go vis-à-vis Clojure and the JVM.
