Yes it has escape analysis, but even if it were perfect and correctly recognize every possible pattern, it is still nothing compared to having native support for it in the language and mandate it’s usage throughout the codebase.

One can easily add a single line and “break” the escape analysis, while it is compile time checked with value types.

Go doesn’t have semantics for stack allocation, it also has escape analysis. It’s pretty easy to intuit about the escape analysis, but you have to profile to be sure.
