There are GC paradigms that do compaction and do not stop the world (https://www.azul.com/products/zing/). They are expensive in other dimensions though (actual cash).

Again, not disagree-ing with the choices the golang team are making on GC, they work great for my workloads but they aren't without trade off for other kinds of workflows.



Actually you can now get two open source pauseless compacting collectors: ZGC and Shenandoah.
