That I shouldn't do I/O in a go block is something I found out yesterday. This is the first time I seriously use core.async, so I hope I will be forgiven. The program isn't doing heavy work, though, so I think my abuse of go blocks didn't do much harm. It just has a process that regularly (every five minutes) downloads volcanic ash advisories and puts the data on a published channel. The subscribers (currently two) send notifications etc. If you're unexpectedly interested, you can look at the code here: https://github.com/rmoehn/sakurajima-ash-service It's pretty terrible, because I'm was in a hurry and trying several new things at once. Also, I haven't incorporated the "I/O no go" everywhere, yet. Thanks for your help! I didn't have much of a problem, only a question about best practices, but it's good to read your insights!
