@tkf could you explain this a little more? I always assumed / hoped that ThreadPools would eventually be made obsolete by Julia’s evolution, but I haven’t seen that happen yet. I’d like to triage what you are saying here to determine if that obsolescence has begun, or if there is some new Julia functionality I need to wrap into the API. Thx
