Run a task now.

What is the best practice for running the following parallel task:

while (true) {
    var server : Socket = serverSocket.accept();
    var in = new DataInputStream(server.getInputStream());
    eventListener.messageReceived(in.readUTF());
    server.close();
}

Use of in or every seems to not be the good semantic from my point of view.

Perhaps functions are missed in the Shedules capacity:

def execute(task : AgentTask = null, code : (Agent) => void) : AgentTask

We may also consider to propose an "infinite loop" running mechanism for ensuring thread balancing:

def loop(task : AgentTask = null, code : (Agent) => void) : AgentTask

This function will create the runnable like this:

executorService.submit( () -> {
   while (true) {
      code;
      Thread.yield();
   }
});

Issue #243 may be solved by the current issue with the introduction of:

def loop(task : AgentTask = null, delayBetweenRuns : long = 0, code : (Agent) => void) : AgentTask
