Not as much as you'd think: Go uses the stack. And evidently the soft real-time support is good enough to fly drones and control robots. I saw it today. All of their demos at GopherCon, including the face recognition one, had Sleep calls in it because otherwise it would operate too fast for comprehension and would make the robots/drones hard to control.

Many of Go's core language features require the presence of a heap. > And evidently the soft real-time support is good enough to fly drones and control robots. I could probably control a drone with Javascript. It doesn't mean that I should, nor that I can guarantee that it will work all the time. >had Sleep calls in it because otherwise it would operate too fast for comprehension and would make the robots/drones hard to control. This means nothing. Just because the language happens to be more than fast enough for a certain thing doesn't mean it will be more than fast enough for all things.
