I'm sure that this is just hyperbole, but I can't imagine this not being a perfectly reasonable context in which to deploy a go application.

In my mind "real time" as a term of art applies to things like hardware control systems with very strict tolerances.

Although, as a hacking challenge I'd love to see the most catastrophic delay one could plausibly accidentally code into a go application.

If your app stalls for 5 minutes you probably forgot to delete the time.Sleep() you threw in while debugging.

Or you're in python and call asyncio.gather(*list_of_1_million_futures) That'll hang for a bit.
