I hope it won't seem rude to suggest it, but the go-nuts list is the optimum place for your specific concerns. The Go authors read it and are very conscientious in responding to serious questions.
The Go authors did express confidence that GC performance could eventually be made competitive, although I couldn't tell you whether that has yet happened. I would nevertheless keep in mind that they are experienced professionals (c.f. Inferno) and that you'd be wrong to malign GC categorically based on your experiences with the proliferation of various toy languages on the net. (I won't mention names.) If you want a modern C++ or some other heavyweight language on Plan 9, I'll point out that there was some talk in August about a LLVM port, though you'll be hard pressed to find many here that desire it above Go.
