Let’s Summarize #

We started with asynchronous patterns, which deal with goroutines. Then, we looked at condition variables, which sometimes deal with resources.

Now, let"s put them together. The Worker Pool is a pattern that treats a set of goroutines as resources.

Just a note on terminology: in other languages the pattern is usually called a “thread pool”, but in Go we"re working with goroutines, so we just call them workers.
