This feels more like a failure than a win.

Don't get me wrong, I love Valgrind, and have been using it extensively in my past life as a C developer. Though the fact that Go needs Valgrind feels like a failure of the language or the ecosystem. I've been doing Rust for ~6 years now, and haven't had to reach for Valgrind even once (I think a team member may have use it once).

I realize that's probably because of cgo, and maybe it's in-fact a step forward, but I can help but feel like it is a step backwards.
