While I was writing this up I saw this Google Groups discussion about difference between Python's coroutines and goroutines: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/golang-nuts/Onswx7FpdxY https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/golang-nuts/Onswx7Fp... Russ Cox also makes Guido's point of how channels are baked into golang's runtime, whereas a Python channel would be implemented as an object on top of the runtime. Very interesting to see how things similar at face value differ underneath the hood.
