It should be noted that since Go 1.14, which came out _after_ this talk, Go's scheduler has been fully preemptive.

[@czamous5660]

Sorry but Go channels are not only synchronous. There are buffered channels that act as asynchronous.

That's so smooth... I like to listen that kind of talk, because I don't have to be a big brain to understand.

[@envueltoenplastico]

Enjoyable talk!

I thought the video pace setup was on for 2x or more but no... It's really the way she talks.

[@SpittingMage]

I know it is subjective, but people who talk so fast really make me wanna run away :)
