Project Cuba

Experiment in allowing workers to own the means of production.

Go's built in chans are based on the Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP) model. They work well when the processing is sequential, i.e.

Producer -> Processor [-> Processor ...] -> Consumer

But not everything fits well with this model, like when work is discovered as part of the processing. Examples are walking a directory structure, and finding more subdirectories as you go -- or a web crawler following hyperlinks from the pages it crawls.

Cuba attempts to build a parallel system where processes can both consume and produce work simultaneously.
