# Mu synchronizes using channels rather than locks, like Erlang and Go.
#
# The two ends of a channel will usually belong to different routines, but
# each end should only be used by a single one. Don't try to read from or
# write to it from multiple routines at once.
#
# The key property of channels is that writing to a full channel or reading
# from an empty one will put the current routine in 'waiting' state until the
# operation can be completed.
