Why is there a "women who go" and not a "men who go"? EDIT: Just to be clear, I don't have nothing against women. I just think that treating them "differently" is not the solution. The moment you treat them differently you are discriminating.
How the Go GC does comparing with the JVM one ?
{{range . -}} {{.}} {{end -}} This seems like a bit of a hack to be honest. Would anything break if {{range .}} {{.}} {{end}} worked as expected?
Oh, and I've already made use of the whitespace-stripping in text templates, too! :)
One thing I was worried about from the focus on reducing maximum GC pause times (i.e. latency) was that this might negatively affect GC throughput. For example, maybe the pauses are shorter but there are many more of them. The project I'm working on at the moment exercises the GC heavily but is not concerned with latency (it's bulk data-processing), and I didn't see any significant regression in performance/throughput from 1.5 to 1.6rc1. So, yay.
EDIT: I realise this is a vague question. I suppose I was wondering if the order of magnitude GC performance in Go is likely to interfere with game loops you might find in reasonably CPU/ GPU intensive Indie games (i.e. NOT Crysis).

This is a problem I have in my Jade (aka Pug) templates, which trims whitespace around the contents of each element by default -- and there, I have to append `#{' '}` HTML literals at the end of lines in order to assert whitespace where I need it. But overall, the whitespace-trimming in Jade is great becuause it's a targeted, somewhat-opinionated tool, contrary to Golang standard library.
If you need/want templating to work differently, though, there's no reason to not use some other template library. Or you could fork the standard library, make modifications to suit your needs, and use that instead. It's very easy to do that with Go.
A Golang beginner's question: do these GC improvements make Golang a suitable language/ platform for writing games? EDIT: I realise this is a vague question.

It would become unusable for general-purpose text templating[0], and would either break interspersing dynamic text ("this is {{ name }}" with name=Bob would be rendered as "this isBob") within static text or would need a semantic understanding of HTML. And even then the presence or absence of whitespace in HTML does have rendering impacts (though I don't remember one offhand — aside from linebreaks — it's been a long…
