100%. In Java, you would often use OpenHFT's ChronicleMap for now and hopefully inline classes/records in Java 16 or so.

Ehcache has an efficient off-heap store: https://github.com/Terracotta-OSS/offheap-store/

Doesn't Go have something like this available? It's an obvious thing for garbage-collected languages to have.

You can usually resort to `import C` and using `C.malloc` to get an unsafe.Pointer.
