nodejs' v8 has millions of man hours spent in optimzation alone since half the internet frontend runs on v8, if not more.

Go being garbage collected and still beating v8 is one hell of an achievement.

If you need faster Go Http you're using the wrong tool.

Go is a statically typed, AOT-compiled language, unlike V8. The kind of task that had countless hours of R&D poured into it for decades, much of it public research and open source code.

I'm not sure how GC is relevant here at all given that JS is also a garbage-collected language.
