Go is a much better choice for systems work. Largely because the GC has a low pause (sub ms) target. I'd still be hesitant to use it for very latency sensitive things, or memory intensive applications. Prometheus, for example, has struggled with golang's memory management (bad memory fragmentation, wasteful memory usage). But I think it's a great compromise if you don't want to deal with memory management.

Sure, I would also .NET/C# to the list now.

.NET Core on Linux is very fast and there are some great developments around fast low-level (yet managed) managed memory manipulation that can lead to some very fast software.
