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

[@darryljackman]

Dude, you are the man!

[@somerandomchannel382]

isnt the last one just multi threading?

[@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. 💚

[@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

[@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

[@gnanakumar1992]

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

[@cookiebinary]

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

[@kretaceous]

Bro I was going to comment "Every college student ever" on the same thing.

[@faqs-answered]

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

[@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.

[@Sjay4237]

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.

[@naikrovek]

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

[@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

[@hoale9689]

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

[@Someone-uo8jc]

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

[@rohitbhanot7809]

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

[@deathdogg0]

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

[@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.

[@Andrei_Bush]

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

[@DieguitoJohnson]

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

[@burkaypehlivan5428]

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

[@sbera87]

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

[@abhinalech]

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

[@everdrone97]

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

[@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

[@stevekamga5977]

By far the best tutorial about Go Concurrency, THANK YOU

[@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.

[@GizmosShop]

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

[@DavidDealAko]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@et4493]

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

[@badreddinlabed530]

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

[@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 ✌️

[@Timbo101001]

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

[@jhoemarP]

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

[@TANVEER991164]

lucidly explained a seemingly complex topic. Thank you

[@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...

[@jxiuh.861]

best go concurrency video so far on youtube

[@dp-mason]

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

[@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.

[@syw4049]

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

[@erwinveenhoven7446]

This is honestly such an amazing tutorial. Great job!

[@cristianchavez5674]

Best video ever to understand go concurrency. Thanks !!

[@jan5310]

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

[@mhkubaid]

Easy explanation with brilliantly organized examples!!

[@luigikart11]

10:42

[@darshanshah6525]

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

[@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.

[@crusader_]

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

[@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!

[@nikunj204]

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

[@howardcai1851]

How is the job and result channel being controlled for access of multiple worker for them? Encapsulated within Chan? Interesting quick intro!

[@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.

[@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.

[@texaslinux]

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

[@salix_qmeou]

your videos is amazing! Really clean and precise, it's everything that a programmer want from tutorials

[@anu8928]

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

[@atulram8206]

Thank you, from this wonderful wonderful crash course. Please keep making this kind of videos

[@linus.]

Wow those channels are awesome. Way better than waiting for promises to resolve in js

[@bashtinator]

Some people are good teachers! Amazing Job!

[@jamescameron8140]

Thanks for this video. just started learning Go for work

[@jeremytweedie1452]

A very good explanation indeed! Will definitely watch all of your other videos

[@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!

[@pabloseren7447]

QUESTION: hi jake, first of all thank you for the video, very good content. In the last script with workers, i'm not quite sure why the results loop wait for the result channel to send info. I mean, the main function is executed, and once its get to the last loop, it should go through it regardless the workers finished or not. would be understandable if you have a range over the result channel, for outputting the fib numbers hope this make sense, i have been thinking a lot. can anybody clarify? thanks!!

[@孙凌峰-w7b]

17:20 why do you not close results channel? thanks

[@Lyrik-Klinge]

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

[@mentalview8703]

He knows his stuff. Thanks, Jake 👏

[@dmitrydmitriev2554]

Very clear. Really understandable, very consistent explanation. Brilliant, amazing, great, cool, nice and super. Thank you.

[@GoddamnAxl]

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

[@licokr]

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

[@oliverperssonbogdanovski5763]

Please more videos on Go, this is brilliant!

[@TelemetryOverlay]

This is fantastic. Just a quick note: 14:40 Those channels don't need a buffer. Do they? Looking forward to one on atomic, mutexes... if you feel like it :)

[@gauravdalvi3504]

I really like the pictorial representation of concepts.

[@mwont]

The best vid about concurrency in go

[@simbelmyne0216]

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

[@finne-dich-selbst-3395]

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

[@backpropagated]

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

[@souleater9189]

question around 9:00... should a sender be the one closing a channel? if there are multiple senders into the same channel, won't the first one to close screw the rest?

[@RobertLugg]

ez I wonder that too. Anyone know? I think you don’t call close unless you know precisely when all senders are done.

[@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.

[@Kitulous]

9:58 is it like a generator function?

[@gurunathaprasad]

This is GOLD.. Thanks a lot Jake

[@jaubaa]

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

[@maximilianomongeok]

Great stuff!!! Coming from the PHP world! this is awesome! Thanks for this videos explaning everything very well! I watched this one and go in 12 minutes :)

[@RajiMalik-xh8jg]

Thank you for such a short and clear video

[@geoffreyanderson4719]

Is Go expressive enough to write a different Wait() function implementation? Different computer architectures (like cache design and communication speed between CPUs) work better with different parallel barrier designs. For example on a big computer with 1000s of CPUs like at an astronomy lab you'd likely see better speed with a combining tree barrier, but a centralized sense reversing barrier is fastest option on a laptop or dual CPU machine. It matters when doing image search etc.

[@DiegoTerzano]

Thanks Jake. Great introduction, all the relevant concepts of concurrency explained in simple terms with illustrative examples. Thank you very much!

[@Tuxedo_tux]

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

[@Crozz22]

The select statement at 13:15, what happens if there are no messages on either channel? Will it loop back immediately? And if so, won't that consume a lot of unnecessary cpu polling those channels extremely often?

[@a4e69636b]

I am impressed by how simple go makes concurrency. It is way simpler in Go than in Python.

[@a4e69636b]

@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()

[@zeinfahrozi7828]

Best explanation for Beginner

[@anuragbisht1200]

you have great understanding of the language and thanks for the tuts.

[@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.

[@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 !

[@FPChris]

I could see using this to display portions of a raytraced image in progress. Usually during a y outer loop and x inner loop you are stuck waiting to complete before providing feedback to the user.

[@pupdoggify]

You are a very good teacher!!! Thank you 🙏

[@igary]

Loved this video, I finally understand this

I'm confused a little at channel length. A channel of length two allows two messages to be sent to the channel right without blocking right.? A channel s default length is 1. Then it should allow one message without blocking right.? Why does it block then?

[@HarshaVardhan-jf9sd]

Very sharp and precise explanation
