Only Main Package Can Terminate

Only package main has the right to terminate the program. If another package can receive a signal indicating termination, it should communicate that to the main goroutine ... and allow the main goroutine to shut everything down

Moses holds stone tablets displaying a programming rule about termination signals and the main goroutine. The joke mixes the biblical Ten Commandments scene with a technical explanation of graceful shutdown in concurrent programming, making it useful as a reaction to overcomplicated or improper program termination.
