Can you elaborate on this? I've been getting serious usage out of the Rust standard library for years...

Yes, this is annoying. We should stabilize MPSC select. You can use BurntSushi's chan for now though.

mio basically supports this, no?

Do many languages have good support for this? The C and C++ standard libraries don't; that's part of POSIX. Signals interact very badly with garbage collectors, so I can't imagine many languages have this.
As for Go and signals, I think it's pretty debatable as to whether you can have "excellent support" for signals without the ability to write a true signal handler. Note that this is not a fault of Go and is pretty much inherent to any garbage collected language. I suspect the Rust community would not be particularly happy with an implementation of signals that had hardwired sending to MPSC channels. Even having MPSC channels in the library at all is somewhat controversial...
