How exactly is the Go GC easier to "triage" than that of the JVM?

Keep in mind that the HotSpot JVM does escape analysis just as Go does (this is sadly a very common misconception). The difference is that Go relies on escape analysis a lot more than the JVM does, because Go's GC has much slower allocation due to not being generational.

This goes away with experience. Certainly, most programmers get up to speed with Go faster than they do with Rust. But at this point the Rust language has totally melted away into the background for me.
