I will also say this fear of losing information is ignoring an important
aspect of non-toy CSP systems. There are many cases where you absolutely
have no choice - you must drop information (and preferably be able to
specify how) if you do not want your program to fall apart. This is why
Haskell has BoundedChan, Go has buffer backed channels, and why core.async
is even more flexible about the dropping semantics.
