Huh? No, I'm not. Go is a memory-safe programming language, like Java before it, like Python, Ruby, Javascript, and of course Rust.

So you're saying nobody cares about actual memory safety in concurrent code? Then why did the Swift folks bother to finally make the language memory-safe (just as safe as Rust) for concurrent code? Heck why did the Java folks bother to define their safe concurrency/memory model to begin with? They could have done it the Golang way and not cared about the issue.
I don't know why you're inventing things for me to have said.
