What are the main circumstances that cause a goroutine to stop execution and disappear from the execution threads?

Answer from AI
A goroutine in Go terminates and disappears from the execution threads in the following main cases:
-
The goroutine function has completed execution — when the function launched in the goroutine returns control, the goroutine is considered finished.
-
A panic that is not recovered within the goroutine — if a panic occurs in the goroutine and it is not caught with recover, the goroutine terminates abruptly.
-
The program terminates — when the main goroutine finishes execution, all other goroutines also end.
Goroutines do not terminate on their own without the execution of a function or the occurrence of an error; they live as long as the code inside them is running.
