> Go outputs less instructions, but has to maintain its segmented stacks

I think they dropped segmented stacks in 2014: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_(programming_language)#Vers...

The stack can still grow, but contiguously. I'm not sure if there are any instructions required to monitor the stack size and grow if it needed.
