Delphi (and probably also Free Pascal?) is not wholly memory safe, but at least it has bounds checking for arrays and a sane string type, which is more than you get with C... I'm an ex-Delphi developer myself, and actually Go and Pascal are more closely related than you might think at first glance: Go code looks mostly like a C-family language, but the declaration syntax ("a int" instead of "int a") and the "package" concept which helps achieve fast compilation times are borrowed from Pascal. And both have a ":=" operator, although in Go it declares and assigns variable(s) with type inference, while in Pascal it's any assignment.
