I hope it won't seem rude to suggest it, but the go-nuts list is the
optimum place for your specific concerns.  The Go authors read it and
are very conscientious in responding to serious questions.

The Go authors did express confidence that GC performance could
eventually be made competitive, although I couldn't tell you whether
that has yet happened.  I would nevertheless keep in mind that they
are experienced professionals (c.f. Inferno) and that you'd be wrong
to malign GC categorically based on your experiences with the
proliferation of various toy languages on the net.  (I won't mention
names.)

If you want a modern C++ or some other heavyweight language on Plan 9,
I'll point out that there was some talk in August about a LLVM port,
though you'll be hard pressed to find many here that desire it above
Go.
