This is my first time posting code to Hacker News. I'd love to get any feedback on the quality and usefulness of the code as a package.
Throttler fills the gap between sync.WaitGroup and manually monitoring your goroutines with channels. The API is almost identical to Wait Groups, but it allows you to set a max number of workers that can be running simultaneously. It uses channels internally to block until a job completes by calling Done() or until all jobs have been completed.
