Go is internally doing async-like cooperative multitasking. You just don't see it because they actually integrated it into the language well.


As jerf said in a parent comment,

Which is the proper way of doing it. As soon as you expose all that plumbing a whole generation of inexperienced programmers are going to use it to build their sandcastles with and then you can spend the next two decades on the cleanup. Such stuff should be implemented once and made bulletproof rather than to give everybody a box with interesting shiny parts that will explode when used wrong.
