Thank you for writing this. When I saw Pike’s talk I had the same concern about performance. I thought it was a brilliant way to make the programmer’s job easier but I questioned the performance. (Not that performance is always important.) I actually added to my “some day list” an item to benchmark both versions as you did but I never got around to it. Now that I’ve read your article I can remove that from my list. My hope is that some motivated smart person uses your benchmarks to optimize the Go channel system. Often having a specific use-case is exact what’s needed.
