# Summary Go's lightweight goroutines and channels provide an appealing concurrency model that's difficult to replicate in C, where only heavier OS threads are available.

He concludes that while native OS threads can't match goroutines' efficiency, a pthread-based approach can offer considerable functionality if developers accept its performance tradeoffs.
