Not a true statement. Go does not have long pauses, but it has 
slightly slower code and a penalty for interfacing with C.  Go 
also has finalization with dependencies, so that they execute in 
the right order…

The downsides/upsides of GC isn't something fixed for all designs.

Not sure how you reached that conclusion.
