Ownership and Borrowing: The Concept Go Doesn't Have
Go to Rust Series: ← The Rust Compiler | Series Overview | No Garbage Collector → The Core Difference Ownership is Rust’s most important concept-and the one Go completely lacks. In Go, the garbage collector handles memory. In Rust, the ownership system handles memory at compile time, with zero runtime cost. Go’s Approach: Share and GC Go: package main import "fmt" func main() { data := []int{1, 2, 3} // Pass to multiple functions printData(data) modifyData(data) printData(data) // Still usable fmt.Println(data) } func printData(d []int) { fmt.Println(d) } func modifyData(d []int) { d[0] = 999 // Modifies original } Output: ...
