Syntactically the issue is to create an intuitive and easy to use
syntax. Go has chosen one that works reasonably well – as has
Python-CSP.

Semantically, the various framework proof obligations can be encoded as
tests, which makes that straightforward.

So yes, it can be done, no it is a difficult problem, well once you get
beyond the brief glance anyway ;-)
