Channels consist of 3 "things" 1) pending put queue 2) pending take queue 3) buffer
What will happen is that the async/put! will be put into the pending put queue and sit there until either the buffer has room, or a take handles the put. These pending operation queues can be seen as unbounded queues, and unbounded queues should be considered a bad thing. Therefore there is an arbitrary restriction on the size of the pending queues: they are limited to no more than 1024 pending puts/takes. In practice this is very rarely a limitation, but if it becomes a problem we could make it configurable, we just haven't seen a good use case for that yet.
