So has anyone used Google's Go? I was wondering how the mathematical performance (e.g. flops) is compared to other languages with a garbage collector... like Java or .NET?
Has anyone investigated this?

The Go math package is largely written in assembler for performance.
Benchmarks are often unreliable and are subject to interpretation. For example, Robert Hundt's paper Loop Recognition in C++/Java/Go/Scala looks flawed. The Go blog post on Profiling Go Programs dissects Hundt's claims.
