To add to this: the built in go race detector is very good at catching data races. It’s a runtime, but I’ve never had a race that couldn’t be reproduced in the race detector trivially.
But yes, in theory Go has a memory safety problem because of it. In practice though, it’s that people don’t use the race detector, which is ridiculously easy to do.
