Arguably the MVar as a bounded channel of fixed capacity 1 is the primitive (both taking from and putting into an MVar will block if it is empty or full, respectively), and unbounded Chans are just MVars all the way down. But I'm not sure if that's not just nitpicking. ;) -benh _______________________________________________ Rust-dev mailing list Rust-dev@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/rust-dev
