Channels question

[Joe McGuckin]

If i have multiple goroutines listening on the same channel, then write something to the channel, will all goroutines receive the value, or only the ‘next’ available goroutine (as determined by the scheduler)

Thanks,

Joe

Channels are queues: https://golang.org/ref/spec#Channel_types. They do not have fan-out semantics. Only one goroutine reading the channel will receive the next value.
