C, previous to C11, didn't even have a concept of threading...

(And who the hell is using C11 like that anyway?)



OK, pthreads.


It is going to be a pretty hard sell that mimicking pthreads is ever a good idea...

Regardless, considering the casual nature of goroutines and the deliberate heavy-weight nature of pthreads, I find it hard to see pthreads as being any sort of argument about what Go should do, regardless of pthreads' shortcomings. They are wildly different animals.
