Going Loopy: Iteration in Go
summary
Go is statically compiled and shows generalized iteration by building from C-style for loops to closures, channels and reflection with runnable examples. Uses the stdlib fmt and reflect, demonstrates type assertion with ok boolean, range over channels blocking until close, and spawning 100k+ goroutines on old hardware. Shows a generic map/reduce via the empty interface and reflect, reports microbenchmarks and that the examples actually run and print expected counts.
