6 sourcesIt's getting easier with every release to not allocate, with things like ref returns and locals[1] and new types like Span<T>[2]. I think there are more things like that coming in the pipeline[3].

In I was wrong, reflecting on the .NET design choicesCurrently they are playing with Span<> and Memory<> at CoreFX Labs, which make use of IDisposable, so they could at least partially support it at library level.

As for scope M#/System C# style, I guess the door is still open for future C# versions.
In Show HN: A new hobby OS from “scratch” in C#The great hopac library for F# which is inspired by concurrent ML also supports channels with select.
There now also seems to be an experimental channel implementation for C#/.Net which supports this feature: https://github.com/dotnet/corefxlab/tree/master/src/System.T...
In Google/fchan-go: Experimental channel implementationMarc Gravell had a good post on Channels/Pipelines too:

This is a key part of the .NET roadmap to speed up the basic data pipeline workload of most apps:
