If you haven't already, check out sanic [1] which is powered by uvloop [2] which itself is pretty amazing.

Although Go's GC is tunable to some extent, the open source HotSpot JVM are already has multiple GC implementations that you can choose based on your use case and further tune. There is also work being done in the OpenJDK project for a GC that can collect > 100GB heaps in < 10ms [1]. There are also alternative proprietary implementations available today that already have no stop the world collections [2]
