I haven't actually confirmed this but given that it's GCed, I would imagine it also doesn't use lifetimes so it's probably considerably quicker to write than normal Rust code. Rust without lifetimes sounds wonderful, actually.
Yes you are correct. In case it isn't clear, I didn't write a GC myself, I'm just transpiling to Go and letting the Go compiler and runtime doing the heavy lifting.

This is the kind of comment I was hoping to see. Borgo is higher level than Rust and can massively benefit from simplifying certain parts of Rust for ease of use and better ergonomics.
