There's a good link on Go GC from the HN thread on this which talks about reasons you can see poor GC performance https://github.com/golang/go/issues/10958
A few things which are not quite right:

Go supports easy cross compilation, I'm not sure why people choose to compile on the destination hosts rather than just deploy a binary.
> By contrast, Go has no way of tracking the execution of individual goroutines.
As he goes on to say you can use channels for this, so it's a little disingenuous to claim that you can't track errors on goroutines.
Really interesting comparison though. Thanks for the link.
