Only very theoretically - in Go, you don't control whether memory goes on your stack or the heap, and heap escape analysis is notoriously unpredictable. There is no explicit free. You would have to write Go in a completely crazy way to be able to turn off the GC and have the program not grow unbounded.

You might think "I'll just use static buffers everywhere", but allocations can occur in unexpected places. The compiler does some very basic lifetime analysis to eliminate some obvious cases (loops...), but it's really hard to avoid in general.
