Actually, I had in mind trying to do something based on linux 
io_uring, though that would obviously be Linux specific...

Apparently...

https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gccgo/

I've managed to run out of memory with gccgo, simply because each 
created goroutine uses a native thread.

I've manually called C routines from gccgo directly, without 
using cgo, making use of the techniques in the above manual, and 
had it call in to C very quickly, at native speed, and apparently 
on a native thread stack.
