Hey TD - Did a pass. Had some questions and surface level comment.
One thing that came up a few was the use of a busy-wait/Thread.sleep along
with interruption. Ideally rather than calling sleep in a loop you would sleep
on a condition variable and notify it in the other thread. With the current
approach you anyways have to keep a pointer to the thread so it knows what to
interrupt. Why not just have a CV?
