Go coroutine concurrent programming practice

Author: Zen and the Art of Computer Programming

1 Introduction

As the new favorite in the field of cloud computing, Go language has an increasingly rich ecosystem, with a huge open source community and an extremely rich ecological atmosphere. Because the Golang language supports lightweight coroutines, developers can perform concurrent programming in a more flexible way. This article explores the coroutine mechanism, programming model and practice of Go language by reading official documents and some related materials, combined with actual cases.
Go coroutine concurrent programming practice includes the following six parts:

• The first part introduces the history of Go language, introduces why Go language can quickly become the new favorite in the field of cloud computing, and the positive role of Go language in the field of cloud computing.
• The second part introduces the concurrent programming model of Go language, including basic knowledge of concurrency, Goroutine scheduling principles, work stealing algorithms, etc.
• The third part explains the coroutine-based concurrent programming model of the Go language, mainly explaining how to implement the production and consumption model, how to avoid context switching, and how to deal with synchronization mutual exclusion and deadlock issues.
• The fourth part introduces Goroutine leak and memory leak detection methods in detail.
• The fifth part uses the Kafka message queue client case to demonstrate the application of Go language in distributed systems.
• The sixth part talks about the future development direction of Go language.

First, let's take a look at the history of the Go language.

1. Introduction to the history of Go language

1.1 Background of the founder of Go language

In 2007, an American Dr. Rob_Pike founded the Go language. He joined Google in 2009 as an engineer.

1.2 Creation background of Go language

Google launched its own project Go in 2007 (Annotation: Go is a statically compiled, general-purpose, strongly typed language, developed by Google's concurrent programming language
