Problems with Go channels (2016)

This was 2016. Is it all still true? I know things will be backwards compatible, but I haven't kept track of what else has made it into the toolbox since then.

Absolutely nothing has changed at the language level, and for using channels and the `go` keyword directly, there isn't really tooling to help either.

Most experienced Golang practitioners have reached the same conclusions as this blog post: Just don't use channels, even for problems that look simple. I used Go professionally for two years, and it's by far the worst thing about the language. The number of footguns is astounding.
