Thread example from evanmiller
Several weeks ago there was this post: http://www.evanmiller.org/why-im-learning-perl-6.html That gave this example of perl6 N:M threads in action: use v6.d.PREVIEW; my $channel = Channel.new; my @ten_tasks = (^10).map: { start { my $thread = $*THREAD.id; await $channel; say "HOLY MOLEY SOMEONE STOLE MY THREAD" if $thread != $*THREAD.id; } } $channel.send("Ring ring") for ^10; $channel.close; await @ten_tasks; It demonstrates that perl6 will not tie up a thread in the thread pool just sitting around waiting (I think). The example is intended to be condensed without any surplus code. So my question is, is the $channel.close required? Leave it out and the code still seems to work.
