About
A goroutine is a concurrent function execution. A channel is a communication mechanism that allows one goroutine to pass values of a specified type to another goroutine.
The function main runs in a goroutine and the go statement creates additional goroutines.
When one goroutine attempts a send or receive on a channel, it blocks until another goroutine attempts the corresponding receive or send operation, at which point the value is transferred and both goroutines proceed.

- To sends a value on the channel ch (ch <- expression)
- To receives all of them (<-ch).
Having main do all the printing ensures that output from each goroutine is processed as a unit, with no danger of interleaving if two goroutines finish at the same time.
