# Mu synchronizes between routines using channels rather than locks, like
# Erlang and Go.
#
# The key property of channels: 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.
#
# Beware of addresses passed into channels. They can cause race conditions.
