Rust aims to be a systems language displacing C and C++ from their

As Brian said, this sort of inflammatory, unspecific criticism is not
welcome. Especially when you are advocating making channels *less*
performant.
As an aside, I don't think multi-consumer queues are the right API for
dividing up work among many workers, because of the massive contention
on the queue. Work stealing is the proven approach here. I suspect the
API should look something like this:

This just landed in Servo today and after we give it some time to bake
I'd like to uplift it to libextra.
