Except since Go has support for neither immutable structures not unique pointers, the objects passed through the channel can be mutable and keep being used by the sender. Go will not help you avoid this.

It's not, go passes mutable objects over its channel and all routines share memory, you get the exact same model by using queues in C.

That the Go team has no issue breaking the rules they impose on others, so that point is irrelevant.
