I'm not really sure whether this can be put exactly that way. On a machine with 4 GB RAM you can spawn about 80.000 goroutines...

What about using a JVM with green threads support or Quasar, wouldn't it be more comparable?

It seems it is the same issue. From the Quasar user manual (http://docs.paralleluniverse.co/quasar/):

Fibers are not meant to replace threads in all circumstances. A fiber should be used when its body (the code it executes) blocks very often waiting on other fibers (e.g. waiting for messages sent by other fibers on a channel, or waiting for the value of a dataflow-variable). For long-running computations that rarely block, traditional threads are preferable. Fortunately, as we shall see, fibers and threads interoperate very well.
