Summary

In this chapter, we learned about the functioning of goroutines, their simplicity, and the importance of synchronization using WaitGroup. We also became aware of the difficulties in managing shared state, using a warehouse analogy to explain data races. Additionally, we were introduced to Go’s race detection tool to identify race conditions, the significance of communication channels, and their potential pitfalls.

Now that our concurrency knowledge is refreshed, let’s explore in the next chapter interactions with an operational system using system calls.
