Is it possible for a Go program to experience a stack overflow?

Yes, in Go, a stack overflow situation is possible, although the language uses a dynamically growing stack for goroutines. Each execution thread (goroutine) starts with a small stack (usually a few kilobytes), which automatically expands if necessary.

However, if recursion is too deep or there is an infinite function call, the stack can grow to its limit, resulting in a panic with a stack overflow error.

Example causing a stack overflow:

func recurse() {
    recurse()
}

func main() {
    recurse()
}

In this example, infinite recursion will lead to a stack overflow and crash the program.

Thus, despite dynamic stack management, overflow is possible with excessive stack usage.
