Is there a way to do repetitive background tasks in Go? I'm thinking of something like Timer.schedule(task, delay, period) in Java. I know I can do this with a goroutine and Time.sleep(), but I'd like something that easily stopped. Here's what I got, but looks ugly to me. Is there a cleaner/better way? func oneWay() { var f func() var t *time.Timer f = func () { fmt.Println("doing stuff") t = time
