Mastering concurrency in Go can make you a highly sought-after developer in today's job market, where multi-core devices are becoming common. The good news is that concurrency in Go is straightforward and efficient, thanks to Go’s robust support for concurrency out of the box. In fact, it's easier and faster to implement than in other major programming languages.
In this module, we'll begin with a general introduction to concurrency and build up to more advanced concepts like Go parallelism. We'll also dive into common patterns, including Go Fan-In Fan-out, which will make our code more efficient. By the end of this module, you'll be equipped to write high-performance, concurrent applications using Go.

Go Concurrency

In the code below, you will find two goroutines which represent our players and send messages over channels signaling `Buzz` to the main routine. Now the problem with the code below is that `channel1` blocks the code, which implies that we can't receive any message from `channel2` until we receive a message from `channel1`. Therefore, if player 2, i.e. the second goroutine *buzzes* before player 1, we'll never be able to know!




Let's implement a buzz game using the tools we have learnt so far!
