I read an estimate that about 40% of programmer time spent writing a C or C++ program goes into memory management. Compilers often don't really need sophisticated memory management techniques, as they don't run for very long. Go in particular seems designed to never compile really large compilation units (like you might in C++).
tl;dr if I was writing a Go compiler, I wouldn't worry about memory management either.
