Java as some design decision that will make it perform worse
natively than in a VM.
Are there any benchmarks?
Dynamic code loading + virtual by default is one example.
Is this Java's only chance to keep up with Go and Rust (and D)?
It certainly isn't unless the language is modified and a large
amount of code is thrown away.
Do you mean it isn't going to keep up with other languages or it
isn't it's only chance?
