goroutine
A lightweight concurrent execution unit built into the Go programming language and managed by the Go runtime. Goroutines start with an initial stack of only a few kilobytes that can grow and shrink dynamically, supporting hundreds of thousands of concurrent instances. They form the fundamental building block of Go's concurrency model.

Go provides a set of built-in concurrency primitives through goroutines and channels.
A goroutine is a lightweight thread managed by the Go runtime, and one can be started simply by adding the go keyword before a function call.
The Go runtime uses an M:N scheduling model, mapping M goroutines onto N operating system threads for execution.
The context package provides a standardized mechanism for passing cancellation signals, timeouts, and request-scoped values across goroutines, and can prevent goroutine leaks.
Go's goroutines are closer to a stackful model and do not use async/await syntax.
A goroutine is a lightweight coroutine in the Go language with extremely low creation cost (requiring only a few KB of memory), and combined with the channel communication mechanism, it can efficiently manage hundreds or even thousands of concurrent tasks.

A goroutine's initial stack space is only about 2 KB and can dynamically grow and shrink, allowing a single Go process to run hundreds of thousands of goroutines.
