What about Quasar [0] on the JVM?

But Quasar does seem to offer go-like channels? I'm unclear what kind of combinators are provided but those could be implemented.

It does offer channels, see the linked Docu.

For combinators I don't think those are really needed in the CSP environments because you can do most transformations with normal function calls and normal control flow contructs (loops, if, ...)
