There's nothing wrong with mutex, but you can use channels for a more native-Go experience. This video is well worth watching: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zXAHh5tJqQ In short, you can get mutex or semaphore-like behaviour by having a channel with fixed depth, and putting/pulling values from it. Playground <https://play.golang.org/p/Vg-c8v7N0-6> mutex := make(chan struct{}, 1) ... mutex <- struct{}{} ... do stuff <-mutex -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
