Inklings: a tumblelog

The title’s a bit inflammatory, but the article itself is good. The headings mostly give a good summary:

• You probably won’t end up using just channels (due to dead goroutine leaks)
• Channels are slower than implementing it yourself
• Channels don’t compose well with other concurrency primitives
• Callbacks are strictly more powerful and don’t require unnecessary goroutines
• The channel API is inconsistent and just cray-cray

Also, linked half-duplex channels would be help the garbage collector, and it would be nice to be able to select on condition variables.
