Go has both assembly language and unsafe pointer operations available. While any uses of these more advanced techniques should be vetted before going to production, they are obviously able to break out of any sandboxing that you might otherwise think a garbage collector provides.

And any language which can call C code that is resident in the same virtual memory space can have its own restrictions bypassed by said C code. This even applies to more restrictive runtimes like the JVM or Python.
