GIST OF GO: RACE CONDITIONS

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

There are different types of race conditions in Go concurrency. This article goes over how to handle them. It differentiates data races (concurrent access to shared data with at least one write) from race conditions (unpredictable order leading to incorrect state), then explains several approaches to handling race conditions, including mutexes, compare-and-set operations, and idempotence.
