Gain concurrency - use go-channels for piping (and more)

Piping is a popular concept, method, facility, mechanism ... whatever You call it.

• And: piping is a convenient way to design a process - a process with concurrent parts. Batteries included :-)

• And: Mind You: Concurrency enables parallelism!

[This project chan](here provides facilites and mechanisms to build, invoke and manage such process.

Each such concurrent part (and any composite hereof(!)) may be seen as a pipeable-unit.

Note: Some name it 'transitor' (not transistor), as it facilitates stuff to transit thru it. Or 'pipe-station', or 'pipe-tube'). Some call it 'stage'.

They come in a variety of flavours, have different sizes, and obey to strict and consistent namings.

---

Connect several such pipeable-unit into a networked ensemble, and You desing, build, create and operate a process.

And: Such process is concurrent by design!

Thus: it's components may execute as parallel(!) (as much as Your environemt permits/supports).

Really parallel (on multi-cores), that is. Not only quasi-parallel (via some pre-emptive multitasking).

Note: Mind You: Conceptually, Piping is a mechanism as much as channeling.
chan is not another type, but an atom of such mechanism (think: CSP)
a means to some end.

---

Available literature about piping and concurrency is inconsistent and/or incomplete in terms of nomenclatura (so far we've read both good books available to us).

Thus, we take liberty to introduce some freshly invented vocabulary, complementing the namings.

Hint:

• If You like it: smile.
• If You don't: smile anyway - You'll be (a little more) happy - may be.

Mind You: the work done here is for You!. ʕ◔ϖ◔ʔ
For You - to be a Happy Gopher! ʕ◔ϖ◔ʔ

So: be a Happy Gopher! ʕ◔ϖ◔ʔ
