Go is impoverished compared to Haskell but not when it comes to concurrency. The Haskell analogues for these concurrency primitives seem laborious...and they were even moreso prior to the advent of the `async` library.

A commenter on /r/haskell[0] noted that there is actually a library that mimics Go Channels a bit closer, called GoChan[1]. That said, I think `async` is the idiomatic choice, so it probably makes more sense to keep it.

Which is strange. It should be possible to implement proper CML-style concurrency in Haskell, which is strictly more expressive than the go concurrency model.
