Types

type Lock

type Lock struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

* Not sure why, but when I first looked for locks in golang, I was told Just use a channel!, so i did. I have not found a reason to go back and use the actual sync library since this actually works well and is just super simple a buffered channel can act as a semaphore where acquiring is writing to the channel and release is reading

func NewLock

* Locks have a name so they can be easily debugged when there is a deadlock and I forget to release it some where
