Yes. For me it is channels. After nearly 20 years of UNIX'ish systems, pipes are a mental abstraction that I do not have to think about any more. And channels fit right in, they feel much closer to a how a pipe is used on the cli than a pipe or socketpair ever did in code.

For example a range loop over a closed channel is, for me, piping things to xargs. It's easy to understand, reason and conceptualize because it feels familiar.
