Go is not a virtual machine language, it's compiled to native machine code, like a C program. Each Go program does have a runtime package which provides the garbage collector to manage the programs heap, and Go programs do follow a pattern of over allocating with the expectation that the operating system will lazily fulfil that allocation when the Go program actually does come to use that memory.
It's a moot point at the moment because there is no way to share a Go program's runtime between multiple programs, but I don't think this would achieve the saving you expect compared to JITed virtual machine runtimes like nodejs.
