Copy Link mikojan 19 hours ago Collapse Comment - I believe async/await means you have a single consumer (caller) and a single producer (callee) and only a single value will be produced (resolved).With CPS you may send and receive many times over to whomever and from whomever you like.In JavaScript you may write.. const fetchData = async () => { // snip return data; } const data = await fetchData(); And in Go you might express the same like.. channel := make(chan int); go func() { // snip channel <- data; }() data := <-channel But you could also, for example, keep sending data and send it to as many consumers as you like.. go func() { for { // Infinite loop: // snip channel1 <- data; channel2 <- data; channel3 <- data; } }() Reply View | 0 replies

In JavaScript you may write..
