This was very interesting, but the ending was a bit abrupt. I was under the impression that there was something more that I was missing under the subscribe banner.
But to the point of the article - are there cases in which manually moving objects around to compact them in a specific area is done with golang? I don't use golang that much, and I'm sure that there are very strong arguments for not compacting the heap post-GC, but I've always wondered how it avoids crashing in the 0.0001% of cases in which heap is defragmented in such a way that there's no way to allocate a new large object
