    libmill (https://github.com/sustrik/libmill) and libdill (https://github.com/sustrik/libdill) should be similar and probably mentioned.

    As far as I understand the differences between CspChan and libmill might be that libmill also implements lightweight tasks (coroutines) and everything that goes with it (IO multiplexing, async timers, etc), while CspChan uses OS threads?

    I saw this in 2017. Unfortunately, not much activity now. https://github.com/sustrik/libdill/commits/master

    Might be fun to play with, but I wouldn't rely on it. Generally, better off with libuv for existing projects or Rust for greener fields where lifetimes are checked and safe concurrency is much easier.
