It was shocking how often we leaked goroutines. Whereas in Haskell, if you use async it's hard to. Haskell exceptions are tricky (and there are plenty of bloggers who make a niche living acting like they're so hard to deal with you need to hire them) but in 2023 it's trivial. Just use the unliftio wrappers and you're golden.
