"Write a function that does not return until some channel event occurs."
Is this а pure function or it has side effects (network call, etc) ? If 
it's a pure function you can look into core.async transducers.

You can achieve the effect of not returning immediately by putting your 
logic inside of a (go ...) block. Inside (go ...) <! and >! give the 
illusion of threads by "parking" and not returning immediately (of course 
no real threads involved). 
I still believe that with the approach that I outlined before you can 
achieve a good effect but maybe I'm misunderstanding. Maybe some more 
actual code with examples can clarify.
