In the C programming language, we allocate memory dynamically (on the heap) using the malloc function. You pass malloc a size parameter corresponding to the number of bytes you need. The function returns either a pointer to the allocated memory or the NULL pointer if the memory could not be allocated.
Or so you may think.

Most of my time over the past two years has been developing primary in Go. If you’re not familiar with the Go programming language let me sum it up for you real quick: take a modern, statically-linked, type-strict language and remove every advancement in development in the last 10 years or so, do some pretentious talks about how your language is the best one out there, and you have Go. Now, don’t get me wrong, Go is a fantastic language. The problem is that its also a horrible language.
