When you called attention to Rust you clearly understood the point of picking nits. Why pretend you have no idea what we are talking about now?

malloc/free, not being a language feature, cannot be reasoned about. Since the larger discussion is about Go, consider using malloc/free in Go. Of course you can do it. There is nothing stopping you. Since it is not part of a language it can be bolted on to any language, not just C. But if you do, it should be obvious you can no longer reason about the program in terms of how memory is used. If there was a way to reason about it, C would already have all the same memory guarantees that Rust does.
