content

• a channel in go could be read-only or write-only
• a read-only or write-only channel is achieved with type casting
  • read-only: <-chan (value coming out from the channel)
  • write-only: chan<- (value going into the channel)

func readChannel(ch <-chan int) {...}
func writeChannel(ch chan<- int) {...}

• this read-only / write-only can also be seen as channel’s direction
