2nd paragraph

The paragraph starts comparing if statements to for statements and then refers to the wrong type in the 3rd sentence: "The if statement has three parts, separated by semicolons."

This should read "The for statement has three parts, separated by semicolons."

3rd paragraph (not counting code)

Text reads as

> By a stunning coincidence, LoggerAdapter and SimpleDataStore happen to meet the interfaces needed by your business logic, but neither type has any idea that it does.

I was confused by this and realized that it was a typo; we just defined LoggerAdapter and DataStore interfaces, so the text should read

> By a stunning coincidence, LoggerAdapter and DataStore happen to meet the interfaces needed by your business logic, but neither type has any idea that it does.

"More on comparable" section

Typo

> As you saw in “Interfaces Are Comparable” on page 165, interfacesare one of the comparable types in Go.

interfacesare does not have a space in between. Should read as

> As you saw in “Interfaces Are Comparable” on page 165, interfaces are one of the comparable types in Go.

6th paragraph, under the code example

This means we can
create a buffered channel with one space for each launched goroutine, and
have each goroutine write data to this **goroutine** (<- this should be "channel") without blocking.
