# Channels for ruby
A complete implementation of channels for Ruby, including size and close.
## How?
The usual `gem insall channel`, or `gem channel` in your `Gemfile`.
```
require 'channel'
c = Channel.new
go -> { c << 'Hello, world!' }
puts c.recv
```
## Why?
While some packages already exist, many fail at providing a thorough
implementation, often limited to `send`/`recv`, and most critically, all
missing `close` support. A complete implementation makes channels much more
useful, as most patterns rely much more details than simply `send`/`recv`.
To prove this point and to serve as a nice tutorial anyway, some examples
ported over from [Go by example](http://gobyexample.com) are included in
[examples](examples).
