On: GERT: Run Go on Bare Metal ARMv7

[cyphar]

What about Rust, which doesn't have either of those downsides (yes, it has the porting problem due to bootstrapping issues but Go has the same issue)?

Also, the "acceptable defect rate" is not necessarily very large for a majority of cases that users will care about.

Have a look at RTFM: http://blog.japaric.io/fearless-concurrency/

Theres nothing like it out there. This is zero abstraction, and it works.

Rust is pretty cool. If I were writing code for a platform like this I might use it (but probably only if I was convinced that GC issues were going to be a real practical problem if I used OCaml/Haskell/Scala-native).
