	// This implementation doesn't do either:

Here's my solution. Pretty neat imo!

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"sync"
)

type Fetcher interface {
	// Fetch returns the body of URL and
	// a slice of URLs found on that page.
	Fetch(url string) (body string, urls []string, err error)
}

type SafeMap struct {
	mu sync.Mutex
	m  map[string]string
}

func (sm *SafeMap) addCache(url string) {
	sm.mu.Lock()
	defer sm.mu.Unlock()

	sm.m[url] = url
}

func (sm *SafeMap) checkCache(url string) bool {
	sm.mu.Lock()
	defer sm.mu.Unlock()

	_, ok := sm.m[url]
	return ok
}

// Crawl uses fetcher to recursively crawl
// pages starting with url, to a maximum of depth.
func Crawl(url string, depth int, fetcher Fetcher, sm *SafeMap) {
	defer wg.Done()

	if depth <= 0 {
		return
	}

	if sm.checkCache(url) {
		return
	}

	sm.addCache(url)

	body, urls, err := fetcher.Fetch(url)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
		return
	}

	fmt.Printf("found: %s %q\n", url, body)
	for _, u := range urls {
		wg.Add(1)
		go Crawl(u, depth-1, fetcher, sm)
	}
}

var wg sync.WaitGroup

func main() {
	sm := SafeMap{m: make(map[string]string)}

	wg.Add(1)
	Crawl("https://golang.org/", 4, fetcher, &sm)
	wg.Wait()
}

// fakeFetcher is Fetcher that returns canned results.
type fakeFetcher map[string]*fakeResult

type fakeResult struct {
	body string
	urls []string
}

func (f fakeFetcher) Fetch(url string) (string, []string, error) {
	if res, ok := f[url]; ok {
		return res.body, res.urls, nil
	}
	return "", nil, fmt.Errorf("not found: %s", url)
}

// fetcher is a populated fakeFetcher.
var fetcher = fakeFetcher{
	"https://golang.org/": &fakeResult{
		"The Go Programming Language",
		[]string{
			"https://golang.org/pkg/",
			"https://golang.org/cmd/",
		},
	},
	"https://golang.org/pkg/": &fakeResult{

	},
	"https://golang.org/pkg/fmt/": &fakeResult{
