Channel
final class Channel (View source)
Unbuffered Channels
An unbuffered channel will block on calls to Channel::send() until there is a receiver, and block on calls to Channel::recv() until there is a sender. This means an unbuffered channel is not only a way to share data among tasks but also a simple method of synchronization.
An unbuffered channel is the fastest way to share data among tasks, requiring the least copying.
