Remember Go doesn't have objects, it only has structs which are most likely (and should be, but I haven't verified) much lighter weight than the objects you might be used to in Java.

As far as the creating tens/hundreds of thousands of structs per second for weeks or months without leaking memory, I'll get back to you on that once my code has been active that long ;)

Usually the in-memory representation is the same for objects and structs, given a garbage collected language.

Ok, I'll have to test it sometime. (if anyone has tested it, let me know)

If you have something really intensive running GO, I genuinely would love to hear how it's going after some uptime. Thank you.
