I believe that Rob Pike has made the point that garbage collection is required to make the concurrency model practicable. Being Go's foremost raison d'ĂȘtre, its use of CSP should not be ignored or abused, or you won't be getting much out of Go. That's not to say that low-latency garbage collection isn't interesting, or that Go's authors haven't been around this block.
