Allocation of structs on stack and heap in Go: how is it related to garbage collection?

Hello everyone! I've just started learning Go after C++ and Java, and I'm very confused about memory allocation for structs. In C++, I'm used to explicitly controlling whether I create an object on the stack (`MyClass obj;`) or on the heap (`MyClass* obj = new MyClass();`). In Java, everything is always on the heap, with references on the stack. But in Go, I see that structs can be created as `myStruct := MyStruct{}` (seemingly on the stack) and as `myStruct := &MyStruct{}` (seemingly on the heap). And Go has a garbage collector. I'm completely confused. For example, I have this code: ```go type User struct { Name string Age int } func createUser(name string, age int) *User { u := User{Name: name, Age: age} return &u // Returning a pointer to a local variable! } ``` In C++, this would be undefined behavior (dangling pointer).
