Goroutine vs OS Threads

• Go doesnt directly use OS level threads, it uses Green Threads which are an abstraction over an actual thread.

• Goroutines are managed by the go runtime, we are only interacting with these high level go routines. While OS thrads are managed by kernel.

• These Goroutines are cheaper and lightweight while OS threads are costly and take some time to start up. Thus we can run thousands of go routines without affecting the performance much.

• Also, the have built-in functionality called Channels for internal communication i.e. receiving and sending data. Comparitively it is difficult to communicate in OS Threads.
