alt Hacker News> Remember, I'm talking about the API to a Go wrapper around SDL.
We were talking about using malloc/free vs. a resizable buffer. Happy to progress the discussion towards a Go API, however. That, obviously, is going to look something more like this:
renderer := SDLRenderer()
defer renderer.Destroy()
for _, str := range strings {
surface := renderer.RenderTextToSurface(str)
textures = append(textures, renderer.CreateTextureFromSurface(surface))
}

No. This is a conversation about Go. My example[1], that you responded to, was an example taken from a real-world project I've worked on which uses Go wrappers around SDL functions to render text. Nowhere did I mention malloc or free, you brought those up.
The code you gave this time is literally my first example (again, [1]), which allocates a new surface every time, except that you forgot to destroy the surface. Good job.
Can this conversation be over now?
