I only spent an hour straightening out his use of Go. Had I know he was going to publish it externally as "Go Pro" I would have tried to turn it into a real Go program, and perhaps even optimize it somewhat. Overall I think the Java and C++ code got the most attention from language experts. Ah well.

From the Java Tunings section of the paper:

Note that Jeremy deliberately refused to optimize the code further, many of the C++ optimizations would apply to the Java version as well

It sounds like Jermey didn't spend much time tuning the Java version either.
