I'm not sure what "memory efficient" means. But, Go sprung as a competitor to Java (portability, language stability, corporate language support/development) and C++ (faster compile times). Can't beat C++ in terms of memory management (performance, guys, not safety) much. But, you can fare well against the JVM, I'm guessing.

In this benchmark actually no, Go doesn't fare well. There is actually higher static overhead per goroutine than JVM VirtualThread. I presume this is because of a larger initial stack size though/

This probably doesn't matter in the real world as you will actually use the tasks to do some real work which should really dwarf the static overhead is almost all cases.
