Java and Mono have been shown to be roughly comparable overall in speed, each a bit worse or better than the other in some ways, I've read.

Shown where? Mono's JIT is nowhere near as good as OpenJDK/Hotspot.

I counted go lead on 3 of the tests, but I agree with your point, will fix the article accordingly, thanks!

Only 1 of those 3 tests (the very 1st one) also contains Java results. The other 2 are Windows tests that don't contain any Java results. Hence I said that out of the 10 tests that contain both Go and Java results Go only beats Java (by a statistically insignificant 0.2%) in 1 test while Java beats Go in the other 9 tests.

You are so right, bad attention to details day for me. corrected the article in any case. thanks!
