It does yes. However, they still do not seem to be making the claim that goroutines are a bad idea. The name conflation is unfortunate, but almost all of the problems are C++-specific, and their conclusion fails to be precise about this.



The paper states that fibers, including goroutines, are a bad idea. The part that is not specific to C++ is the FFI cost (cited as 160 ns in the paper).


We already have a thread discussing this. If this is truly a problem, then I shall ask why C’s Go interop is so bad - if it were better, we’d have access to a much nicer TLS library!
