- Stack vs Heap allocation

- Garbage Collection

How Gos GC works

How to reduce GC pressure

- Escape Analysis

Use `go build -gcflags="-m"` to inspect

- Unsafe Package

- Channels

Blocking & buffering

Select statements

- sync Package

Mutex, RWMutex
Phase 3: Golang Low-Level Learning

- Atomic Operations

`sync/atomic` usage

Low-level synchronization

4. System Programming

- File Descriptors & I/O

`os`, `syscall`, `bufio`

- Signals and Process Management

Using `os/signal`, `os/exec`

- Interfacing with C

`cgo` basics

Calling C libraries

- Network Programming
