Re: [Algorithms] General purpose task parallel threading approach

"The fact that you have to rely on labelling assembly instructions
and for-loops as "general components" to provide support for your
initial statement shows how weak your statement was."

No, that's a very good strawman you have there though. The point was that programming is nothing but composition of general components from the ground up. Assembly instructions and for-loops weren't all I mentioned, or indeed what I emphasised. Libraries and frameworks are rather strong arguments for generality and composition.
