P.S.
And if you want to reduce it to a one-liner, how about this?
Communicating is better than sharing sometimes, and vice versa.

I think that both of the suggestions below are great. But I’m left wondering
about the Go mantra
Do not communicate by sharing memory. Instead, share memory by
communicating.
What does it say? It starts off with communicating as the goal, but doesn’t
tell you how to do it. Then sharing memory is the goal and the solution it
provides (communicating) is only right some of the time.
Am I missing something? Should this be replaced?

yes... everything is good for what it is designed for and less-good for what it
is not designed for.
mutex-protected counters are good
channels for data communication are good
neither is a perfect stand in for the other. nothin wrong with channels.

No. Use channels to coordinate and send data between goroutines, and other sync
primitives to coordinate access to shared resources. Both has its pros and
cons, use the best tool for the job.
