Mark McGranaghan 32f268e8e0 Tweak wording to "function calls"
It's technically the same function being called and therefore run
twice.

Go

// A _goroutine_ is a lightweight thread of execution.
package main
import "fmt"
func f(from string) {
for i := 0; i < 3; i++ {
fmt.Println(from, ":", i)
}
}
func main() {
// Suppose we have a function call `f(s)`. Here's how
// we'd call that in the usual way, running it
// synchronously.
f("direct")
// To invoke this function in a goroutine, use
// `go f(s)`. This new goroutine will execute
// concurrently with the calling one.
go f("goroutine")
// You can also start a goroutine for an anonymous
// function call.
go func(msg string) {
fmt.Println(msg)
}("going")
// Our two function calls are running asynchronously in
// separate goroutines now, so execution falls through
// to here. This `Scanln` code requires we press a key
// before the program exits.
var input string
fmt.Scanln(&input)
fmt.Println("done")
}
