What should your mutexes be named?

Read Original

The article discusses the challenge of adapting to a new codebase's naming conventions, specifically for mutexes in Go. It uses a code example to question the best naming practice (e.g., barMtx vs. barMux) and demonstrates how to use structural search tools like ast-grep to analyze the Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) of a project to discover existing patterns in the Go standard library.
