# threads.ludic — Job.parallel_for on real OS threads, with Sync.* made safe to share. # Each assertion that holds prints its number, so a full run prints: # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 # A worker is a top-level function taking (i: int, ctx: pointer-like) that computes on what ctx # points at; `fn name` passes it.
