While generally speaking the calling thread would have picked up the task first anyways, I don't think it makes much sense usually to block the calling thread until another thread wakes and does the work. |

bevy_tasks
A refreshingly simple task executor for bevy. :)
This is a simple threadpool with minimal dependencies. The main usecase is a scoped fork-join, i.e. spawning tasks from
a single thread and having that thread await the completion of those tasks. This is intended specifically for
bevy as a lighter alternative to rayon for this specific usecase. There are also utilities for
generating the tasks from a slice of data. This library is intended for games and makes no attempt to ensure fairness
or ordering of spawned tasks.
It is based on async-executor, a lightweight executor that allows the end user to manage their own threads.
async-executor is based on async-task, a core piece of async-std.
