I've used them a ton in Go, and a tiny bit in Rust. I would think channels could fail here though - for the same reason that a Mutex could fail, no? Channels can block a thread if you wait for data. You could of course have a channel that you simply use in a non-blocking fashion, asking if data is ready. You could also implement similar behavior in a Mutex. However, I do think you're right, a channel would likely fit this paradigm better; and with less chance of accidentally blocking the executor/future thread. Appreciate the feedback, thanks!
