I think the expectation the Go lot have been working towards is the expectation that individual pauses are very short. Contrast to a Java server GC, aiming towards overall efficiency. (Tell me if I'm wrong, I'm no expert.)

Yes, Go optimizes for low latency and Java for high throughput.

Depends on the Java GC being used.

[weberc2]

Granted, but the stock GC is optimized for throughput.

The stock GC on OpenJDK, there are other JVMs to choose from.
