#### 10.2`` Synchronization

Scheme’s synchronization toolbox spans three layers:

- synchronizable events – a general framework for synchronization;

- channels – a primitive that can be used, in principle, to build most other kinds of synchronizable events (except the ones that compose events); and

- semaphores – a simple and especially cheap primitive for synchronization.
