I've been running into this problem way more recently it feels new. Every GC powered application uses a greedy allocator so virtual memory only increases and is rarely returned to the OS. That was literally why virtual memory (and swap) was invented. It's dumb as shit.

Dunno about GO but dotnet's profiler has an allocation tracker. However, it drastically affects performance to the point where allocation issues can be hidden because most of the CPU time is spent in the profiler, it's too slow to catch any massive leaks.
