如何学习Go编程语言的内部知识？ 对于菜鸟

Question

Recently I've participated several Go job interviews. The first one asked me How is channel implemented?, then the second one asked How is goroutine implemented?. Well as you can guess, the next one asked How is a Go interface implemented?.

I've been using Go for six months, but to be honest I never did care or know these Go internals.

I tried to learn these by reading the source code of Go, but can't really understand the quintessence.

So the question is, for a noob in Go, how do I learn the Go internals?

Answer 1

The most organized collection of internal resources links is probably this:

Golang Internals Resources

Other than that, answers to these questions aren't collected in once place, but they are scattered in different blog posts.
