// In the previous example we used explicit locking with
// [mutexes](mutexes) to synchronize access to shared state
// across multiple goroutines. Another option is to use the
// built-in synchronization features of goroutines and
// channels to achieve the same result. This channel-based
// approach aligns with Go's ideas of sharing memory by
// communicating and having each piece of data owned
// by exactly 1 goroutine.

// In this example our state will be owned by a single
// goroutine. This will guarantee that the data is never
// corrupted with concurrent access. In order to read or
// write that state, other goroutines will send messages
// to the owning goroutine and receive corresponding
// replies. These `readOp` and `writeOp` `struct`s
// encapsulate those requests and a way for the owning
// goroutine to respond.

// is a map as in the previous example but now private
// to the stateful goroutine. This goroutine repeatedly
// selects on the `reads` and `writes` channels,
// responding to requests as they arrive. A response
// is executed by first performing the requested
// operation and then sending a value on the response
// channel `resp` to indicate success (and the desired
// value in the case of `reads`).
