What is this?
There are a number of ways in which you can execute work on multiple threads, but they're all a bit complex to set up or have a few caveats you need to keep in mind. While writing a doc on how to write concurrent code for KMM, we realized there wasn't just a basic background queue library. This is a basic background queue library.
Plans?
We're not sure yet that we'll be making any serious updates or additions to this over time. We're currently using the multithreaded coroutines branch for our multithreaded code. Other great options include CoroutineWorker and Reaktive. However, we do use some of this functionality with TestHelp, and may more formally support a version of this library in the future.
Should you use it?
You can, but there are more complete options out there.
