They (Go routines) mostly get out of the way and provide some abstraction over what I've typically used things like Future for in Scala. As pjmlp mentioned, The concurrency package is pretty nice to know, and offers functionality to chain work or fire off an async task or enqueue stuff to be done as messages, but it's not as trivial as marking a function async. Clojure and Scala have more direct paths to this sort of convenience. Loom will be interesting!
