libnifty provides the basic facilities that most threaded programs need, including message queues, thread pools (aka work queues) and a module to execute tasks at scheduled times.

libnifty modules provide APIs that are safe, simple, and easy to use. Using libnifty will help to make your threaded programs stable, scalable and performant.

libnifty modules are based on a common core that implements reference-counted objects that are accessible via handle-based APIs. This core is extensible in object-oriented style via single inheritance, with strong static type checking and runtime type checking.
