Thank you for fifth copy of almost same code. I clearly have no enough experience to use close of channel and `sync.Once`. Do you really think so? > There's another idiom I quite like for futures (when there's only one possible source of the value) putting the value back after taking it out: https://play.golang.org/p/_7p69KE_RZ And that is really broken idiom. It has race condition: concurrent goroutine may put dufferent value in the channel between those two lines of code. More over, if you use blocking send here, then you will end in blocked goroutine in this case. Another mistake in this idiom: if other concurrent goroutine checks this channel within select, and that check happens between those two lines (between receive and following send), then it see empty "future". And even ir when does not lead to mistake, it serialize "broadcast": goroutines are awoken one after other, instead of being awoken in parallel. That is why I want language (or standard library) to have reliable implementation: people should not invent bicycles with square wheels. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
