Concurrency, parallelism, and async design (Go Time #109)
Go was designed with concurrency in mind. That’s why we have language primitives like goroutines, channels, wait groups, and mutexes.

Don’t worry, we do it in serial. 😉

What problems are they good at solving? What problems are they not suitable for? And…since we had Francesc on the hot seat, we asked him about Just for Func and when it’s coming back.
