Concurrent Sequential Processes

===============================

This library provides a concurrency framework based on the work of Tony Hoare

in his book ["Communicating Sequential Processes"](http://www.usingcsp.com/).

Usage

-----

With CSP, your problem is modelled by *processes* that run concurrently, but

are sequential internally. These processes communicate over *channels*, which

provide a simple messaging API.

    # Prints "Hello, World!" to stdout.

    chan = CSP::Channel.new

	CSP::Process.start { puts(chan.read) }

	CSP::Process.start { chan << "Hello, World!" }

Note that the process is blocked when trying to read on the channel, and only

resumes execution when it is able to read a value.
