GO is designed for distributed systems that can't afford a garbage collection hit. A function is running on one machine, and it calls out for data from 10 other machines - if one of those has a hiccup to garbage collection (i.e. it responds 1 minute later instead of 10ms) then function fails, or is delayed tying up resources. This is my understanding of why Google is developing, I'm not too familiar with it though.
