Your code needs to wait for the routines to finish before exiting. A good way to do this is to pass in a channel which is used by the routine to signal when it’s done and then wait in the main code. See below.
Another advantage of this approach is that it allows/encourages you to perform proper error handling based on the return value.
package main
import (
"fmt"
)
func f(msg string, quit chan int) {
fmt.Println(msg)
quit <- 0
return
}
func main() {
ch1 := make(chan int)
ch2 := make(chan int)
go f("goroutine", ch1)
go func(msg string, quit chan int) {
fmt.Println(msg)
quit <- 0
return
}("going", ch2)
<-ch1
<-ch2
return
}
solved Why can’t this program print anything using goroutine? [duplicate]
