> how common is it for go devs to experience leaking goroutines

About as often as leaking memory in C++

F. again i have minimal experience actually ever needing it in go, but guessing this is just generally the exercise of managing the lifecycle of a goroutine well in your code? proper handling so things dont get orphaned in buffer, fire and forget woopsies, etc.

early on i do feel like go kinda advertised batteries included concurrency but i kinda wished they advertised the foot-shooting-mechanisms and gaps in the abstraction a little more. overall i prefer to have enough control to choose how to manage the lifecycle. mem leaks bum me out and kill my steam, at least from my experience with c/cpp.
