What if you're in a low-everything environment?

Then don't use Go. Go was pitched as a systems language, but has found its niche as a server language. It's to be expected that the maintainers will make decisions that tune it for servers.

Don't use a language which has GC. Allocate all objects statically.. no memory management needed at runtime.

At some point you can no longer afford the luxury of a garbage collector. As the tech gets better, that point gets lower and lower, but there are still limitations.

Phones have two gigs of RAM and four cores these days. Low what? If you're talking software on an internet connected fridge, then, maybe, but that's a pretty niche area even in today's mostly theoretical and overpriced IOT world.
