Does go garbage collect parts of slices?

Question

If I implement a queue like this...

package main

import(
    \"fmt\"
)

func PopFront(q *[]string) string {
    r := (*q)[0]
    *q = (*q)[1:len(*q)]
    re         


        

Answer 1

Simple question, simple answer: No. (But if you keep pushing the slice will at some point overflow its underlying array then the unused elements become available to be freed.)
