> Mainly to see if it would have better GC ability than Cassandra.

Considering the naïvety of Go's GC (a non-generational, non-compacting, conservative, stop-the-world and broken-on-32b[0] mark&sweep)... I would tend to bet against it way sooner than on it.

And remember that goroutines use shared memory, so you can't have an emergent concurrent GC as in Erlang.
