GC pause time is not the only criterion, and focusing on it to the exclusion of all else is problematic.
I used to have to explain this in a HN comment every time it came up, but now Mike Hearn has written up [1] better than I ever could, so I can just link there :)

- pjmlp 10y agoI agree, but still Go can be usable in quite a few scenarios. Sure it has quite a spartan type system and I would rather use something else for my own work. On the other hand, as an ex-Oberon user I am aware of many use cases that Go can easily fulfil and like to make people aware of it, more Go less C is good.
