From the former head of the Go security team [1]:

> I have never seen real Go code (i.e. not code written purposefully to be exploitable) that was exploitable due to a data race.

And from tptacek in that same discussion [2]:

> The fact is that Go doesn't admit memory corruption vulnerabilities, and the way you know that is the fact that there are practically zero exploits for memory corruption vulnerabilities targeting pure Go programs, despite the popularity of the language.
