purescript-threading

Concurrency primitives inspired by python's multithreading and rust, allowing for predictable concurrency with Aff

Use Cases

• Create a background worker thread
• Communicate between threads (Threading.Channel)
• Limit access to a resource (eg. a database connection pool, file handle) to 1 concurrent actor (Threading.RWLock, Threading.Mutex)
• Coordinate concurrent threads, waiting for some common goal to be reached before continuing (Threading.Barrier)
• Create a pool of concurrent "threads" that can pull work from a queue, with graceful exiting and error handling
• Remotely kill a thread, or non-blockingly ask if it has exited
