Once in a while you'll find yourself needing some kind of a pool that holds some recyclable resources like – for example – database connections (which can be quite expensive).
A FiFo like (First In First Out) list comes to mind which could take any resources and give them back.
However, Go provides a much smarter data structure for this purpose: channels. And such a channel serves internally as the backbone of this resources pool.
You can use Go to install this package for you:
go get -u github.com/mwat56/respool
//TODO
No external libraries were used building respool.
This package is based on the "pool" example in
