Go does not need a Java-style GC

Modern languages such as Go, Julia and Rust don't need complex garbage collectors like the ones use by Java C#. But why?

To explain why, we need to get into how garbage collectors work and how different languages allocate memory in different ways. However, we will start by looking at why Java in particular needs such a complex garbage collector.

Good info on how Go deals with memory versus how Java, mainly, handles memory. The most interesting start of a rabbit hole is the mention of research work around memory allocators.
