// we'd call that in the usual way, running it
// synchronously.
f("direct")
// To invoke this function in a goroutine, use
// `go f(s)`. This new goroutine will execute
// concurrently with the calling one.
go f("goroutine")
// You can also start a goroutine for an anonymous
// function call.

// separate goroutines now. Wait for them to finish
// (for a more robust approach, use a [WaitGroup](waitgroups)).
