That statement is misleading. You can also compile Java natively. Secondly, there is most definitely a runtime "between the metal and the language" in golang, the GC being the most obvious.
This proves my thoughts that these claims are not valid.

This is also misleading. You are implying that GraalVM isn't relatively new and that Java native compilation isn't rare. I've yet to see anyone deploy service or CLI tools that are natively compiled in Java. That statement is about as true as saying you can compile Python natively. Just because its possible doesn't mean the language is actually suited for it.
Nice joke. Go software runs much snappier and faster than any Java GUI or CLI tool.
Java CLI tools compiled with GraalVM start up just as fast.
Python is actually compiled. When you run a file, it firstly compiles the cod into a bytecode, which is saved in ‘.pyc’ files. These are afterwards interpreted by the interpreter.
