		zbentley 25 days ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: A million ways to die from a data race in Go GP didn’t say “setting a ‘bool’ value to true”, it referred to setting a “field”. Interpreted charitably, this would be done in Go via a type that does support atomic updates, which is totally possible.

"setting a field to true" clearly means `x.field = value` and not `x.field.Set(value)`
