Unfortunately there are some people who seem to think "Go has channels, therefore, I need to use channels as much as possible", but that's almost always a mistake. Channels shouldn't be used very frequently, but they can be very handy especially in combination with select and/or buffered channels. Usually there should be a clear and "obvious" API.
