Anyone who writes a compiler for Go can guarantee such behavior--anything else is a buggy implementation.

It works in practice because it's a requirement of the implementation.

I guess I’m less worried about the atomic nature of the operation and more about the way the writes become visible. That seems to be entirely hardware dependent?
