Channels are a construct that simplifies concurrent execution and pipelining of data and is often touted as one of the main draws of Go. But did you know that .NET also has built-in support for channels?
What is concurrent programing? Simply described, it’s when you are doing more than one thing at the same time. Not to be confused with parallelism, concurrency is when multiple sequences of operations are run in overlapping periods of time. In the realm of programming, concurrency is a pretty complex subject. Dealing with constructs such as threads and locks and avoiding issues like race conditions and deadlocks can be quite cumbersome, making concurrent programs difficult to write. Through concurrency, programs can be designed as independent processes working together in a specific composition. Such a structure may or may not be made parallel; however, achieving such a structure in your program offers numerous advantages.
