Is there value to having equivalents to the std.parallelism
approach that works with processes rather than threads, and
makes it easy to manage tasks over multiple machines?
I took a look at std.parallelism and it's beyond what I can do
for now. But it seems like this might be a useful project, and
not one of unmanageable difficulty...
Yes, there is enormous value. It's just waiting for someone to
do it.
To start the process off (because small beginnings are better
than no beginning): what are the key features of processes vs
threads one would need to bear in mind when designing such a
thing? Because I spent the past couple of decades in a different
field, multiprocessing passed me by, so I am only now slowly
catching up.
