> With respect to the finer control over memory allocation I think you are understanding it wrong. Go lets you control memory layout, think deciding how things are laid out in a struct. In Java you get indirection and pointers instead. System programming refers mainly to this ability of layout out your data in memory. This makes a world of difference when you are doing high performance code and can control cache locality.
