For a rediscovery of CSP channels but in C#, see:

"The Concurrency and Coordination Runtime (CCR) is a lightweight 
port-based concurrency library for C# 2.0 developed by George 
Chrysanthakopoulos in the Advanced Strategies group at Microsoft. Here 
http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=143582 , we have a deep 
discussion about CCR with George, a Software Architect, and Satnam 
Singh, Architect. You can get more info about CCR on the CCR Wiki 
http://channel9.msdn.com/wiki/default.aspx/Channel9.ConcurrencyRuntime . 
This is super cool stuff and represents a really innovative approach to 
making managed threaded programming more readily understandable and 
predictable.

Please check out the OOPSLA/SCOOL paper on the CCR 
http://research.microsoft.com/~tharris/scool/papers/sing.pdf .

Click here http://channel9.msdn.com/Showpost.aspx?postid=206574 to see 
how the CCR is being used by the Microsoft Robotics Group."
