Tasks and Worker Processes

Explore how to implement task management using worker processes in Go. Understand the traditional mutex locking method and the idiomatic channels approach to synchronize goroutines. Learn when to use each method for concurrency to write clearer, efficient, and more maintainable Go programs.

Suppose we have to perform several tasks; a task is performed by a worker (process). A Task can be defined as a struct (the concrete details are not important here):

type Task struct {
  // some state
