> It's possible in Go, unlike many scripting languages, to write in an allocate-up-front style that doesn't generate garbage, in pretty much exactly the same way you'd do it in C

I am very interested in this. Do you have any links with more info?

Basically, the link would be the language spec. Go's structs are "value types". Until you deliberately take a pointer or access them through an interface, they're just structs, like C. It also has real arrays.

In many ways, Go is like a scripting language, but it does let you do some systems-like things in a way that Python or Perl or the other similar languages completely don't.
