### Comparison with the `std::sync` implementation

_   | `std::sync` | `comm`

----| :----: | :----:

Restricted by stability guarantees | ✔1 | ✘

Users can use their own channels with `Select` | ✘ | ✔

`Select` has a safe interface | ✘ | ✔

`Select` can poll all channels in a vector without borrowing the vector | ✘ | ✔

`Select` can be used concurrently from multiple threads | ✘ | ✔

`Select` will be available in 1.0 | ✘ | ✔

Contains hot, experimental channels | ✘ | ✔

Extensively tested and optimized | ✔ | ✘

Web-Scale | ✘ | ✔2

1[Stability as a Deliverable](http://blog.rust-lang.org/2014/10/30/Stability.html)  

2Uses the epoll design.

In general: Channels in Rust don't need and don't have special compiler

support.  Therefore, channels in the official distribution have all the

restrictions that come with the stdlib without getting any benefits (unlike Go

channels which are tightly integrated with the language.)

### Usage

To use `comm`, first add this to your `Cargo.toml`:

```toml

[dependencies.comm]

git = "https://github.com/mahkoh/comm"

```

`comm` is currently not on [Crates.io](http://crates.io).

Then add this to your crate root:

```rust

extern crate comm;

```

### Bugs

There are some tests but, given the nature of multi-threaded code, some bugs

might only show up in production.
