Example

See EasyThreadExample for examples.

There aren't many examples (only one 😢), but there will be plenty more as the library is fleshed out and matures.

TODO:

There is still work to do!

• I need to make the API more error-proof by adding sanity-checks.
• Add more examples!
• Create tutorials on how multi-threading works.
• Make EasyMutex.
