Go vs GC

I think you need a good story before we commit to using Go.

Time marches on.  We need to do better today, much better.

NTP is used on LANs.


> turning GC off

Is that lightweight or heavyweight?

How does that interact with threads?

What happens if there are lots of threads and they are all turning it off/on very frequently and probably overlapping?

I'm assuming the mainline server path won't require any allocations or frees.  Total CPU time to process a simple request is under 10 microseconds.

Is there a subset of Go that doesn't use GC?  Or someting like that.
