Many ways of allocating memory

Go has multiple ways of memory allocation and value initialization:

&T{...}, &someLocalVar, new, make

new(T): it returns a pointer to type T a value of type *T, it allocates and zeroes the memory. new(T) is equivalent to &T{}.

make(T, args): it returns an initialized value of type T, It allocates and initializes the memory. Its used for slices, map and channels. make() can only be used to initialize slices, maps, and channels, and that, unlike the new() function, make() does not return a pointer.

m := map[string]bool{
    "java": false,
    "go":   true,
}

Everything is pass by value
