I was an early Golang dev and people were _crazy_ with channels for a couple years. I remember the most popular Golang Kafka client was absolute spaghetti of channels and routines. It's never been "safe C" because it's garbage collected. Java is truly the comp because it's a great Grug language. I also wrote some Erlang in the past, I really enjoy it and I was sad that Go didn't borrow more.

This is "share by communicating, don't communicate by sharing". Pretty much everyone agrees it's a good thought. ~Most programs get there just fine with channels, because ~most code isn't so performance sensitive that channel limitations matter. Go leaves plenty of room for the rest of programs to do something else. Seems good.
