Channels are also hardly foolproof. You need to internalize the (non-obvious) channel axioms[1], and there are many other pitfalls and annoyances like: - Needing to determine ownership of closable objects passed across channels. - Defining what special token (or OOB signaling mechanism) is used for marking end of data. - Synchronizing who is closing the channel Go channels are quite painful to use and often a simple lock would do better.
