I use Boost Asio for async code everywhere in C++, even where there is absolutely no IO whatsoever. Just (ab)using Asio "for the async of it."

Searching the net for the current status of async frameworks for C++, I see that there is an unofficial (please correct me if I'm wrong) threadpool library.

Will it become official?

If not, does the Boost community offer something simpler than Asio for this?

I just feel that I'm abusing Asio, where something simpler would suffice. And threadpool might be it.

Would be nice to see if other people are async'ing out there.

Best regards,
