[Bloat] go's improvements to gc

[Bloat] go's improvements to gc

[Dave Taht]

as remarkable as our efforts have been to reduce network bloat, I have
to take my hat off to the
golang garbage collection folk, also.

Reductions in latencies from 300ms to 500us in 4 years. Good story
here about how latency is cumulative:

The very first thing I learned about go, was how to turn off the
garbage collector. I guess I have to go learn some go, for real, now.

If you can think in terms of pipes, Go makes you /productive/. I 
recognized that about 13 hours into learning Go about two years ago.

My advice as an aphorism: "redo something you've done at least once 
before, in go, and see how different it it. Then decide if it's better"
