>1993 called and wants its micro-services. That is great. At least it seems like he is describing Go's channels, Rust's tasks, and most of all Erlang's processes.

Hmm, don't know about the others, but Go's channels seem much much more primitive and bare than the description you quoted.

I meant coupled with a goroutine. But yeah also no isolation.

OS processes though with some IPC mechanism also fit the pattern. But that is not a language anymore as a standard library and OS API
