task_system provides a task scheduler for modern C++.
- The scheduler manages an array of concurrent queues
- A task, when scheduled, is enqueued onto one of queues
- A pool of threads executes ready tasks, potentially stealing tasks for each other's queues

- Abstract: Despite all of the recent interest, concurrency in standard C++ is still barely in its infancy. This talk uses the primitives supplied by C++14 to build a simple, reference, implementation of a task system. The goal is to learn to write software that doesn’t wait.
