libgo is a stackful coroutine library with collaborative scheduling written in C++11, bringing Go-style concurrency to C++. It also provides parallel programming primitives like channels, co_mutex, co_rwmutex, and timers, and can hook synchronous third-party libraries to make them asynchronous.

Use cases

• write go-style coroutines in c++
• make synchronous database clients like mysqlclient or hiredis asynchronous
• run millions of lightweight coroutines with low memory
• avoid thread-per-connection in high concurrency servers
• add channels and mutexes for cooperative multithreading in c++

When to choose

• you want golang-like synchronous-looking code with async performance in C++
• you need to use synchronous DB drivers (MySQL, hiredis) in a high-concurrency async server without rewriting them
• you need massive coroutine counts with modest memory usage
• you target Linux, macOS, or Windows with C++11

When to avoid

• you can use C++20 native coroutines or asio and prefer standard solutions
• your project is not on Linux, macOS, or Windows
• you need a library with active ongoing development and large community
• you only need simple threading without cooperative scheduling
