Oddbean new post about login | logout if they made the GC zero the memory at free that would be awesome... but i can see why it might not be... they should add a flag or something for sensitive values so they are definitely zeroed, that would put Go above all
Yeah I mean it's only useful in certain conditions like secrets. Clearing the stack with fencing is SLOW as fuck like 1000s of CPU cycles to write back to physical memory, often blocking other threads, and dealing with kernel preemption. That's a massive slowdown. Were willing to take the massive performance hit for secrets though.
