   This is why I love Go. Nobody was asking for this, but they took the time to do it right and continue to Push go as a memory safe, high-level systems language.

      go data races aren't memory safe

         That does not make sense to me. Go is memory-safe, but it does not guarantee data-race freedom.

         So whats your point here? Haskell?

            I suppose that if you create a map in one thread, and then access it from another thread, then that might cause segmentation faults? Because map is a type that is implemented in C.

               Yes, writing to maps isn't threadsafe, hence sync.Map. I learned this the hard way
