# 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
|
|
|
|
## Installing
|
|
```bash
|
|
spago install threading
|
|
```
