Goroutines are not threads. Async await behind the scenes uses threads.

In that case and in some others it doesn’t, but in general it does: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17661428/async-stay-on-t... Probably it makes sense to say that async await can try to use a continuation passing style or run on a different thread because there is no actual guarantee that it will use one or the other.
