The select statement is a cornerstone of Go's concurrency model, enabling developers to coordinate multiple channel operations with precision. This talk provides a deep technical exploration of its implementation across Go's compiler and runtime layers. We examine how the compiler transforms high-level select syntax into executable code through IR manipulation, including special-case handling for zero, single, and multi-case scenarios. The runtime implementation reveals a sophisticated selection algorithm featuring randomized polling order, channel locking, and goroutine scheduling mechanics. Come to my talk and gain some insight into how select works under the hood. LEVEL: Advanced |

Whenever you compile a program in Go, it generates a binary that contains your program, but... what is there?
Of course there the compiled version of your code, but what else?
Come with me to explore the inside of the go binary, the elf sections, and how they are used by our executable.

The Go runtime is an essential part of every single Go compiled binary. Understanding what it does for us and the price we pay for it can be interesting.
This talk will explore what the runtime does internally and what it provides to us.
