# Mu synchronizes between routines using channels rather than locks, like
# Erlang and Go.
#
# Key properties of channels:
#
#   a) 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.
#
#   b) Writing to a channel implicitly performs a deep copy. This prevents
#   addresses from being shared between routines, and therefore eliminates all
#   possibility of race conditions.
#
# There's still a narrow window for race conditions: the ingredients passed in
# to 'start-running'. Pass only channels into routines and you should be fine.
# Any other mutable ingredients will require locks.
