Imagine if they had used a non GC language, could've saved a lot more.

  There's always a tradeoff. Perhaps it would decrease development speed, or maybe introduce memory leaks?

  Or they would have never reached the market.

    Uber migrated to Go from python and node. By the time they migrated they already were mature in the market.

      Ok, then we can rephrase OP's comment: "or they would still be using their old software, because reimplementing everything in a non-GC language took too long"?

  Other than some low-level systems programming, there is hardly any workload that would have trouble due to GC itself.
