πŸš€ Mastering Concurrency in Go: A Deep Dive into sync.WaitGroup and sync.Cond

Concurrency is one of Go's superpowers, but mastering its tools can make a huge difference in writing efficient, scalable code.

In my latest article, I break down two powerful concurrency primitives in the Go programming language:
πŸ”Ή sync.WaitGroup: Perfect for synchronizing independent goroutines.
πŸ”Ή sync.Cond: Ideal for coordinating tasks based on specific conditions (e.g., producer-consumer scenarios).

πŸ’‘ What you'll learn:
βœ… Practical examples of sync.WaitGroup in action.
βœ… How to use sync.Cond to tackle condition-based synchronization.
βœ… A comparison of sync.WaitGroup vs. channelsβ€”when to use what.
βœ… Best practices to avoid concurrency pitfalls in Go.
