Hi folks, somwhere on my golang journey ("don't k now where and when") I was teached that mutexes are very expensive and we should prefer to communicate over channels instead of working with mutexes. I trusted it until today. I explained it to our aprentice based on my knowledge and he asked me if i can show him the performance difference.
Therefore I wrote this little demo with the expectation that the channel solution will beat the mutex one and was really surprised when I saw that the mutex based solution beats the channels one most of the time by factor 2. https://play.golang.org/p/Kf9VBSoTLcU What am I missing here or is it not true anymore that mutexes are so expensive that we should prefer Communicating over Sharing. kind regards Reinhard Lüdiger -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
