Time For Some Structure in Our Concurrency

cross-posted from: https://programming.dev/post/6143790

This proposal aims to as the name implies bring more structure to concurrent programming. This will be done by treating related tasks that are running in different threads as a single unit. Thus making it easier for us to manage the state, and also keep an eye on what’s happening.

Note: we won’t be diving into the synchronized keyword, or the Lock interfaces which offer additional capabilities compared to synchronized. But they’re certainly also worth looking into, but which flavour of lock fits best depends on your thread safety & performance requirements.
