The main thing to avoid is to assume that writing can block until its
completion. At least one of the communicating parties must write in a
nonblocking manner and make sure it is always ready to read.

The remaining problem is flow control to prevent write buffer flooding.

All of that is easier to get right than the intricacies of
multithreading.
