>A pun? Maybe. But the point of calling them go-routines instead of co-routines is that they _are not coroutines_.

Well, the pun explanation makes more sense.

Because the mere fact that "they are not coroutines" doesn't explain their similar-to-coroutines name.

Or rather, it does explain why they are not called "coroutines" but does explain why they were named to sound like coroutines at all.
