> good job pointing out the exception! No, go doesn't have exceptions. :D To answer the sibling comment (I don't have enough karma to go deeper), Java NIO channels are barely usable.

Go channels are closer to blocking queues or a selection of concurrent queues depending on whether it's bounded or unbounded, or whether you use select, etc.
