I am writing a program that is similar to a chat server. There is one server goroutine and a new goroutine is created for each client that connects. I find channels a bit difficult to reason about, so I am simply using a mutex where appropriate inside each package.
An extremely simplified version of the program is here: https://play.golang.org/p/wM9Wiv9QXG (won't run in the playground because it binds to a port). My question is: From reading the documentation it is not clear to me under what circumstance a goroutine yields to another goroutine. With this design, can a problem in one goroutine cause the program as a whole to hang? In other words: will the other users continue to be able to have an interactive experience if the connection to one user's machine becomes non-responsive, hangs, etc. Thanks in advance. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
