# job server

This repository implements a rudimentary job server in Rust. The idea is to have

a pool of threads that listen for jobs. As soon as one becomes available, the

thread executes it. Once all jobs have been executed, cleanly exit.

The implementation is similar to a green threads style approach, with the

difference that state is associated with each job. Each job action can have

arbitrary arguments passed as inputs, allowing for context and state to be

managed and maintained externally, relative to the job.

I have primarily implemented this as an exercise in preparation for implementing

a compiler. It is designed so that additional jobs can be queued using closures,

which could enable a highly parallelized compilation process.

For example, compiling a single file might include multiple other files. The

process would be split up into logical steps, i.e. lexing, parsing, semantic

analysis, code generation, etc. These steps could be implemented using the job

server so that the process is parallelized and is stateful.
