Heck yea. Im kind of new here and it can be so intimidating. I feel like everyone is an expert at everything.

All of the posts on this blog are like this, so you should read the archives, for sure. I agree completely.

It uses the JVM's threadpools directly so it applies to more or less any JVM-based language, and the problems it talks about (expensive sequential operation before threadpool submission and unbounded threadpool queue) are pretty common issues.
Witness the unbounded and unconfigurable (though replaceable — at your own risk since you're setting a "private" variable of the pool) queue of Python 3's threadpool: https://hg.python.org/cpython/file/default/Lib/concurrent/fu...

#9> Here's what that looks like in Python.
Although python multithreading outside of IO tasks or dropping into C code that drops the GIL isn't going to parallelize, the latter of which is the only way you're going to burn up cores. The API does make it seem simple though.

It's not that, it's just that experts tend to contribute to threads where they can share their expertise.
So while it appears that everyone here is amazing; that isn't the case: we just tend to have something that we're very good at and comment on it.
The good thing is that you can learn a lot here as long as you don't get sidelined by some of the inane arguments and fighting :)
