Taming the Asynchronous Beast with CSP Channels in JavaScript
summary
Claims that Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP) makes JavaScript concurrency simpler and more deterministic, demonstrates live code using JS CSP and ES6 generators, and shows producer/consumer examples where channels block producers to provide back pressure. A demo reimplements parallel coordination in under 30 lines, composes with transducers, and is claimed as production-ready (examples include CircleCI). Caveats include multiple competing libraries, lack of ecosystem integration with React/Redux, and that tooling is still immature.
