Async/await is just a callback flattened into the function body. I.E. var x = await foo(); var y = await doStuffWith(x); return x + y; Is equivalent to, in a less enlightened language... foo().callback(x => doStuffWith(x).callback(y => x + y)); Goroutines are a more general feature in that channels can accept multiple inputs in sequence. But you can basically think of async/await as a special (the most commmon?) case of goroutines/channels, where the called goroutine sends back a single value on the channel as its one and only result.
