Writing an OS in Rust: Async/Await

What do you mean by functionally equivalent?

Channels are just queues and passing methods. Rust style futures are closer to continuations. Both are powerful and can accomplish neat taska, but not ABI compatible or even used the same way.

My understanding is channels in `go` are 0 sized by default- and thus turn into "rendezvous channels" that can be used to synchronize progress between threads.

This article compares Go and Rust threads and includes an example of how go uses channel's to synchronize. [0]
