Concurrency in Go

[@sujoyan]

The throughput of knowledge transfer in this video is insane! You are able to cover so much in just 15 minutes. That's amazing.

[@ashish3354]

yeah it's crazy, you even get a taste of what the halting problem is, completely unsolicited

[@naikrovek]

this is the best overview of goroutines and channels that i have ever seen. well done.

Dude, you are the man!

[@somerandomchannel382]

isnt the last one just multi threading?

[@faqs-answered]

Extremely easy way to convey the concepts. No wonder why KZbin shows up at the top, despite its small size.

[@BernhardHofmann]

I've watched two of your Go videos now and I'm amazed at how quickly you can convey the lessons. I wish I'd had this pace and style of teaching for all the other languages I've learnt in my 35 year career. Please keep them coming. 💚

[@pronoe]

Extremely easy to follow and understand. Great video. The way you deconstructed this by showing really simple examples and each step adding more logic and/or syntactic sugar is the way I learn myself so this video suited me perfectly.

[@hoale9689]

The illustration at 8:13 is the clearest explanation that I've ever seen

[@gnanakumar1992]

No one explained this simple for go lang in any KZbin channels. Thanks for the great work.

[@Pharoah2]

This is by far the best channel I’ve found for programming. Perfectly paced for those of us with experience in other languages who need to pick up a new one quickly for a project. Thanks friend

[@igustingurahokaprinarjaya7482]

This is the best best best best best best Go's Concurrency explanation! Recommended for all beginner learning Go's Concurrency. Very clear, simple, and details! The best! Thank You Jake

[@sujay4237]

Currently taking a distributed systems course in college that recommends implementation in go so I did quite a bit of searching to crash course go. After watching this and the 12 minute video, i feel like I can just jump in and immediately excel in that course. Concurrency is just done SO well in go.

[@romanmunar]

For those whose having a hard time understanding the concepts covered, i highly recommend the book 'Concurrency in Go' by Cox Buday, however if you're just starting to learn the language, 'Go in action' by Kennedy and Martin, is more suited then, follow it up with buday's book.

[@rohitbhanot7809]

This is short, and crisp but damn at point. Good job mate !!

[@amin32031]

This video is too great. not only shows how to work with goroutines, but also write a clean and optimized code using golang too. thanks a lot man

[@thebahrimedia]

It's impressive that I watched your html in 12 minutes video a decade ago and it's the video that made me fall in love with coding at the time. Now that I'm learning go I'm also watching your video. I guess the student never outgrows the teacher.

[@Someone-uo8jc]

Perfect explanation of concurrency in Go. The best I've found on KZbin 👍

[@Andrei_Bush]

At first, I didn't understand it at all, but after a one repetetion, it become crystal clear! Thank you, Jake.

[@cookiebinary]

Great video. Finally someone explained it properly in depth, but still very straightforward, simple and understandable. Thank you.

[@deathdogg0]

Some of the absolute best Go content on youtube. Thank you!

[@DieguitoJohnson]

This is an amazing lesson. please do more Go videos.

[@afz902k]

After completing the golang tour, I was still not completely sure about the details of channels, goroutines, and select. I had read slightly about wait groups separately but this really brings it all together neatly and succintly. Great video and one I will probably be coming back to.

this is by far the best tutorial about concurrency in go. thanks man, keep up the good work!

[@DavidDealAko]

Great overview of concurrency in go. The pace of the video was spot on and touched the key points.

[@everdrone97]

By far the best practical explanation of go routines, love it

[@badreddinlabed530]

I didn't fully understand go concurrency until I found this video, thank u soo much.

[@crusader_]

Man answered all the questions I had from watching the other tutorials

[@figloalds]

That's a pretty good introduction to go's concurrency, just that, no more, no less, straight to the point, exactly what I was looking for.

[@GuitarDhyana]

This and your other Go video are phenomenal for those who want to tie everything together. Instead of just programming in Go, I can think and understand in Go! Very helpful - thanks.

[@TheR971]

Not gaing to lie, this video really makes me want to write a few cpp libraries to emulate this behaviour. It's gorgeous!

[@VishalAnand24]

I did the same in C# when I first saw it

[@Peshyy]

@@VishalAnand24 I'm interested in the performance differences between Go and your C# library. Could you please share your results? Also how many lines of code were needed for you to write it in C#?

[@Qrzychu92]

@@Peshyy making those channels is very easy, since you already have ConcurrentQueue which wrapper nicely would do exactly that. But to be honest I didn't have the same reaction - I just use observables to do similar things, and they can be "converted" to tasks to nicely wait for them to finish. This isn't as magick as you think :P

[@nandhannatarajan2127]

or just use go lol

[@tanieltari4539]

@@SimonWoodburyForget I dont agree with you. Go is meant to be compiled to machine code and GC is just another lib linked into the executable. Meanwhile C# compiles to IL and machine code is produced on runtime, GC resides in the dotnet runtime. Sure JITing is fast, but it still has some overhead. On the other hand I do like C# syntax more, but thats just personal taste...

[@abhinalech]

The best explanation about goroutines and channels. Good job dude. 👍

[@nikunj204]

I must say this is a short but very concise intro to concurrency in go. I liked it.

[@adsg4692]

Thanks Jake! Great explanation delivered at the perfect balance for new-comers wanting to understand Go's concurrency model. This is so much better than some of the other YT videos I've seen where the code is literally typed out as if that is enough for the viewer to understand how it is working and all hangs together!

[@sbera87]

This is brilliant.. Haven't ever seen such a packed yet clear video tutorial. Great work buddy

[@backpropagated]

I wish classes could be like this. Just give me the simplest, fastest explanation, and let me pause/rewind as I need.

[@dp-mason]

You are a god send. I would have failed out of university years ago if it wasn't for people like you.

[@TANVEER991164]

lucidly explained a seemingly complex topic. Thank you

[@et4493]

Absolute champion. Literally one of the best videos about programming I've ever seen. Thank you very, very much

[@Lorofol]

The anonymous goroutine wrapper function at 5:10 is exactly the structure my brain was telling me to make, where I already had multiple "complex" synchronous functions that I wanted to simply leave up to the implementor to decide when to make it run in another goroutine.

[@stevekamga5977]

By far the best tutorial about Go Concurrency, THANK YOU

[@jxiuh.861]

best go concurrency video so far on youtube

[@jhoemarP]

i should say, your really good at teaching. i can grasp it easily

[@zzzfortezzz]

Man, I tried to learn Go in their original tour, and got confused many times in the concurrency section, but you, @ Jake Wright clear them all. Thank you sooo much

[@Lyrik-Klinge]

Learning English I have to say that your pronunciation is very clear and soft.

[@GizmosShop]

Why would anyone thumbs down this video!!!! good job Jake, you are so right

[@Baconator1368]

Wow pretty cool stuff. I just took an OS class and learned about how complicated concurrency is, and we went over the whole producer/consumer pattern where you need to manage your own conditional variables and mutexes. It seems like channels handle literally all of this for you at runtime!

[@jan5310]

What a great short and to the point introduction to Go concurrency. Great examples. Thanks!

[@clementdato6328]

Wow. Always heard about how go is good at concurrency. This demo really gives that impression to a has-never-used-go guy like me. And the syntax is neat.

[@jamescameron8140]

Thanks for this video. just started learning Go for work

[@salix_qmeou]

[@darshanshah6525]

This is the best explanation I've found till now, thanks!

[@gauravdalvi3504]

I really like the pictorial representation of concepts.

[@Timbo101001]

Probably the best explanation I've seen yet, nice one 👍

[@syw4049]

This is the best demonstration Iǘe seen in go channel. Thanks!

[@GoddamnAxl]

Though most of the example are from gobyexample.com i still think every go beginner should watch this. Jake's explanation is superb.

[@geeshta]

A few days ago, I started playing Exopunks, a Zachtronics programing game and I really think it illustrates some of these concepts very clearly.

[@texaslinux]

This was the best explanation and illustration I've seen yet. Thank you!

[@soulfulman4834]

Man this is awesome 🔥🔥 By watching this video, I got to understand each and every single details about concurrency in go. This is one of the best video on Golang... Thanks buddy 😊... Cheers ✌️

[@jukkanikki3395]

Thanks. Well described. I was pleasantly suprised that Go has such a nice and compact syntax for concurrency stuff.

[@kaushikdr]

From what I understand, the `go` keyword puts a function into a task/promise, so that it can be fulfilled asynchronously or in the background. I had also (incorrectly) thought that all the calls, asynchronous or synchronous, had to finish before the program ended!

[@anu8928]

Finally a video which explains it all in simple understandable words! Thank you!!😃

[@erwinveenhoven7446]

This is honestly such an amazing tutorial. Great job!

[@simbelmyne0216]

Thank you so much for this video, we are trying to optimize our worker concurrency and this is exactly what I need

Thanks! This was just what I needed to wrap my head around the subject 👌

[@uzdik.student]

For Java developers learning Go : 05:38 = CountDownLatch 07:42 = ReentrantClock + Condition 14:52 = SingleThreadExecutor 16:07 = FixedThreadPool(4)

[@philstallone1712]

5:38 or thread join, 7:42 ReentrantLock you mean. Good comparison. Much less code to write in Go it seems.

[@licokr]

Wow, I got impressed how you explained very easily you got the point really well. Thank you!

[@bashtinator]

Some people are good teachers! Amazing Job!

[@shivanshanand8818]

Holy Shit!!! Go is really amazing. It really makes it easier for you to consume tough concepts like Mutex, Semaphores, and Concurrency which takes a lot of time, knowledge, and understanding when implementing in other languages. Really excited to try it out.

[@LB767]

Having never looked at Go, this seems infinitely better than all this async-await nonsense I've had to deal with in other languages...

[@iliakorvigo7341]

I haven't even worked in Go either, but this looks extremely similar to Python 3.5+ coroutines. Although coroutines add a nice layer of abstraction on top of async/await, you still have to think about thread-safety if you want to achieve true parallelism with them. At least, that's how it goes in Python. And I can't see, how any other impure language can be any different.

[@alexp-ru]

async await are amazing, what the fuck are you talking about?

[@ajinkyax]

basically you when you dont know about a programming language you will start bragging about it !

[@Tuxedo_tux]

So well explained. After 4 years still on the money.

[@RajiMalik-xh8jg]

Thank you for such a short and clear video

[@ajinkyax]

@3:40 goroutines dont define their own suspensions or reentry point (joint). Go follows a model of concurrency called the "fork-join" model. These gorutines fork anytime during the execution of program to be run concurrently with its parent. The word JOINT refers to the fact that at some point in future these concurrent forks will join back together, its called the joint point. Since you dont have a joint point both functions are queued to be executed and then they just never got the chance to run before main goroutine exits. ==> To fix this we use sync.WaitGroup which added the joint point :)

@3:26 Just for fun here is the Python version of the program: import time from threading import Thread def main(): Thread(target=count, args=("fish",)).start() Thread(target=count, args=("sheep",)).start() def count(thing): while(True): print(thing) time.sleep(0.5) main()

Thanks for that prez, was perfect to illustrate the/some strength of GO and get me fired up about it. Off to install it and start coding.

[@ZachHixsonTutorials]

Wow, go seemed interesting, but I never really had a good reason to learn it. Considering how easy it is to implement concurrency compared to other languages I think Go will be the next language I learn

[@nikoladd]

Pretty cool! I have no experience in Go, but the approach is somewhat similar in Rust and both are far clunkier then Erlang when it comes to concurrency constructs. Massive progress though in modern languages. I really like the relative simplicity(for a imperative language) of the tools available in Go. Both Rust and Erlang would be more efficient at actual paralellisation of the execution due to the extra constrains they take to remove side effects, but for most things (and competent planning) Go would be really close.

[@bobafett8732]
