Most other sophisticated GCs (e.g. .NET and Java's) can obtain pause times in a similar range for generation 0 collections. So if GC is the reason you don't want to use one of those you'd probably be more interested in improvements in worst case pause times. Go is however very good at avoiding unnecessary object allocation and doesn't need a JIT so it may still be closer to what you need than those languages.
