Read operations will scale only with increased CPU core count. As for writes, they might scale better in Go with increased number of goroutines as long as the hash table bucket count is large enough. That's because of cheaper context switches in green threads vs OS threads. Project Loom may indeed change that.

25 years ago I was lucky. I faced my debugging ignorance. It's a skill we don't learn at school. Hopefully I can help you reach a similar ep
Very interesting. What I would really like to know is how this scales to hundreds/thousands of threads. I suspect that with the current implementation Go will beat Java due to the limitations of system threads and with Loom we'll see Java turn that around.
