A helpful paper: "Getting to Go: The Journey of Go's garbage 
collector".

Positive highlights: 1) non-copying 2) no read barriers

Less friendly: 1) write barriers 2) GC aware fiber scheduler 3) 
other???

Would be some (huge amount?) of work but porting/enabling an 
opt-in golang latency GC could be a big enabler for the 
casual/soft "real time" crowd.

Here's a link to the paper:
