Async Tasks in C++11: Not Quite There Yet
- cmccabe 14y agoDid anyone ever expect tasks to be anything other than syntactic sugar (of questionable taste) over threads? Also, the title "not quite there yet" is misleading, given that async:: will never get "there" if "there" is defined as "implementing green threads."
