I find the pattern

    for {
        select {
            val := <- someChan
            doSomething(val)
        }
    }

for single channel reads very common. I don't like this pattern because you can't close the channel, which is a useful way of signalling you want the routine to end. I guess you could add a signal channel in that select block too, but the language supports "auto exit loop" on close already, via the range function

Instead:

    for val := range someChan {
        doSomething(val)
    }

It might be subjective but

1. It reads better

2. It leaves the loop when you call close(someChan), which is neat

But that's just my take. I'd be curious if anyone has any reasons for the single-channel-read-in-a-select-block approach
