Concurrency is hard and channels make it somewhat easier. Agreed. That's not relevant to the fact that the use of channels in Go is full of gotchas.

That's relevant to the fact that concurrency is full of gotchas. I also used Go to write an MMO all by myself. I think channels are great!

I think his point was that concurrency is riddled with gotchas regardless, and channels reduce them, but not remove them.

People completely misread my comment about doing concurrency with only synchronous code. Basically, channels let you do concurrency with only synchronous code as in Node JS, but without using callbacks.
