Term	Description
Concurrent	Runs alongside your goroutines without stopping the world for long periods.
Tri-color	Objects are tracked as: • White = unreachable (candidate for GC) • Gray = discovered, still need scanning • Black = reachable, fully scanned
Mark-and-sweep	The GC first marks all live objects (reachable from roots), then sweeps memory used by unreachable objects.
