I see that it's not blocking... there's something else fishy going on, though.
This program:
#lang racket
(define (main)
(define p
(place ch
(thread (lambda () (place-channel-put ch 'letter-to-myself)))
(define result (place-channel-get ch))
(printf "got a result: ~s\n" result)))
3)
...doesn't print anything out. This suggests that place-channels are unlike
regular ones, in that they refer to a different channel when used with
channel-put than they do when used with channel-get. I'm not sure how I would
clarify the docs here.
