What lists? Array lists? Linked lists? Skip lists? Concurrent array lists? Concurrent linked lists? Concurrent skip lists? Go gives you packed ints for only one kind of list.

Or if it uses any advanced data structure that Go simply doesn't have, let alone concurrent data types (Java has such a rich collection of data structures, usually with state-of-the-art implementations). Or if you need dynamic code loading. Or embedding a scripting language.
I actually think Go is a very nice language, but Java is much more appropriate for serious, long-running, high-performance server-side apps.
