I LOVE Go's concurrency model, but this article has won me over (pending some experimentation anyway).

If you just skimmed, this is actually worth a careful read. The parallels between "go" and "goto" are explained very clearly, and you get some awesome Dijkstra quotes to boot!

I think people are missing the merits of what the author said in their defensiveness of their existing approaches, which is a bit sad.

The article had a whole section on how any challenges to existing paradigms and tools will be met with fierce opposition. The comments here are an excellent illustration!

I'm not quite won over, but the links to Dijkstra's work were a goldmine for me! Totally agree
