I'm curious what the alternative would be? Python's threads/sub-processing almost requires IO queues to function well, and are nearly the same semantically as channels...

I'm not saying these are "good", just wondering what alternatives look like?

One alternative is STM, software transactional memory which is modular and composable. I think Haskell was first to implement it but its also in Clojure and some Scala libs.

This is what ZIO's type safe version looks like https://zio.dev/reference/stm/ Scala's for-comprehension is syntactic sugar for calls to flatMap, map, and withFilter, similar to Haskell's do-notation.
