pprof is pretty good, what do you need?

yes, that's what I use, just wonder if there are alternatives. I am not sure how valgrind compares to it or the goref tool mentioned above, just asking around, does not hurt.
Alternative to solve what problem? pprof is very powerful, it's not missing much.
Pprof doesn't tell you if something was leaked aka still around.

I fixed a leak recently because of misuse of a slice with code like

slice = append(slice[1:], newElement)

I only figured it out by looking at the pprof heap endpoint output and noticed there were multiple duplicate entries.
