The end state of inappropriate use of garbage collected languages.

Go/GC are mostly fine for medium frequency medium scale mid stack problems.

It’s bad for high frequency computing. It’s bad for very small targets, for very large targets, and by association software that lives at the very bottom of the stack.

Go is a high efficiency framework for writing mid sized servers, not a systems language. The runtimes hard opinions and closed interface are the reason for this enclosing definition and the GC is one part of that.
