Data races are not common but when they do happen. I hate to debug them. Only thing worse than data races is data races causing SEGFAULTS.

You can say the same for Go. Nature of GC langs is they consume more memory than what is minimal. And in theory as a trade off they give you memory safety.

Go doesn't even give memory safety. If program is racy enough.
