I can't claim any authority over this, but believe it is wrong. The control structure appeared in Tony Hoare's communicating sequential processes, and it is present in Go's predecessors developed at Bell Labs. It's present (at least) in Squeak (although that used the original CSP, not the revised version), Newsqueak, Alef and Limbo. -- Aram Hăvărneanu -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
