Re: [Algorithms] General purpose task parallel threading approach

[<asy...@gm...>]

How is your dependency system is supposed to work then ?  You also mean that
inside a task you can't wait for other tasks to finish (because it becomes a
'blocking within tasks') ? That's a really huge limitation imho.
