Go Plays Nice With Your Computer - Race Detection and Freedom!

Explore concurrent programming in Go and learn how to detect and prevent data races in this 26-minute conference talk from GopherCon 2025. Discover the challenges of writing race-free concurrent programs even when your logic appears sound, as compiler and hardware dependencies can introduce unexpected data races. Understand Go's built-in race detection capabilities and examine how recent changes to ThreadSanitizer (TSAN) impact Go development workflows. Gain insights into the theoretical foundations of race detection, including connections to Einstein's work, while mastering practical techniques for building robust concurrent applications that play nicely with your computer's architecture.
