Go's pprof gains a new RSS memory profile type

Original: runtime/pprof gains a new RSS memory profile type. Accepted proposal adds rss alongside the existing heap profiles, surf

The Go project has accepted a proposal to add a new RSS profile type to the runtime/pprof package, alongside the existing heap profiles. The change lets developers profile a program's actual resident process memory rather than just Go heap allocations, addressing a long-standing gap in diagnosing memory usage. Developers following the language are discussing what this means for debugging memory overhead.

Why now: A newly accepted Go proposal improves memory profiling by exposing real process memory, which matters to developers debugging memory-heavy applications.
