Well, time to get the ball rolling on the next phase of PEP 703 (getting rid of the global interpreter lock): https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-779-criteria-for-supported-status-for-free-threaded-python/84319

BTW why does #threading not work here? It's annoying to always read things backwards...
I’ve been needing something akin to, what I now know to be Java’s ExecutorService
, but in my language of choice - D! So I decided to go about it and implement it.
I’ve written it in such a manner such that is is extendable and new providers (job runners, think “pooled threads”, “serial runners” and so on) can be plugged in easily. For the initial proof of concept I created a SequentialProvider
which just consumes tasks and executes them on a single thread in serial, next up is the thread pool version which I will get around to soon enough.
It’s really been fun to actually play with meta-programming more in D - I had to this time as I had to be able to make using this library as pleasant as possible as I require it for a project of mine - and I don’t want any hassles.
So there ya go!
I wrote a nice little library in D today for implementing a wait/notify mechanism in D!

Has there been any talk about making threads more organized on Mastodon? Or is this again a question of which server you are on or which app is being used? I’m talking about making it more clear who is responding to who in convos. Maybe also keeping interesting tangential convos organized so they are easier to follow? I’m not a programmer so I’m assuming this may be a challenge. Or it’s easy to do and I’m just clueless #newbie question #threading #threads #mastodon #TwitterMigration
