Comment on Go’s race detector has a mutex blind spotparent

Comments

High write contention on a memory location do not scale with the number of cores (in fact it is bad even with two cores).

This is independent of using a mutex, a lock free algorithm or message passing (because at the end of the day a queue is a memory location).
