Likely because they are compiling Java with WasmGC extensions and stuff. If you try C, Rust, Zig etc they tend to run extremely fast in WASM.

Go also has a WASM target which runs pretty slow compared to its native binaries. GC extensions might help but as far as I can remember, Go's memory model does not fit the WasmGC so it might never be implemented.
