About parallel programming and concurrency..

Hello,


About parallel programming and concurrency.. 


Look at the following concurrency abstractions of microsoft: 

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.threading.tasks.task.waitany?view=netframework-4.8

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.threading.tasks.task.waitall?view=netframework-4.8


I will soon implement waitany() and waitall() concurrency abstractions for Delphi and Freepascal, with the timeout in microseconds of course, and they will work with my efficient implementation of a Future, so you can will be able to wait for many futures with waitany() and waitall().   

And about task canceletion like in microsoft TPL, i think it is 
not a good abstraction, because how do you know when you have to efficiently cancel a task or tasks ? so you are understanding that task cancelation is not 
a so efficient abstraction , so i will not implement it, because i think the waitany() and waitall() with the "timeout" in microseconds are  good concurrency abstractions.



Thank you,
Amine Moulay Ramdane.
