I find myself using channels in async Rust more than any other sync primitives. No more deadlock headaches. Easy to combine multiple channels in one state-keeping loop using combinators. And the dead goroutines problem described in the article doesn't exist in Rust.

The fact all goroutines are detached is the real problem imo. I find you can encounter many of the same problems in rust with overuse of detached tasks.
