Once - Do
A very simple - but sometimes useful - method is Do. Its role is simply to
guarantee that a function run through it won't run more than once. This means
that if we have:
var once sync.Once
a := make([]int, 0)
once.Do(func() {a = append(a, 1)})
once.Do(func() {a = append(a, 2)})
fmt.Print(a) // [1] and not [1 2]
Once is the right type, when it's important that a certain resource gets
called or initialized only once. In order to be able to call it again, and
that the function is actually run, another instance of Once needs to be
defined. And Do called from that new instance.
