Go's select statement: can a co-routine wait for multiple events at the same time, and process them in order they arrive

Go's select statement: can a co-routine wait for multiple events (read from channels) at the same time, and process them in order they arrive? Thus achieving highest performance...

The select statement in Go actually doesn't process them in order they arrive but in a random order, see https://github.com/golang/go/blob/master/src/runtime/select.go#L168.

Libcsp doesn't provide the select statement, but you can simulate it. See https://github.com/shiyanhui/libcsp/blob/master/examples/select.c.
