Request support for n parallel threads

[wampleek]

Hey, I've been using asyncblock for a couple weeks now, and I love the concise syntax. Recently I ran into a situation where I would like to have n parallel execution threads going at once. I've settled on something like:

for(var i = 0; i < numberOfExecutions; i++) {
    doTask(flow.add());
    if(i % 10 === 0) {
        flow.wait();
    }
}
flow.wait();

This works somewhat well. It will kick off 10 tasks at once, but will wait for all 10 to complete before issuing new tasks. It would be nice if I could have 10 tasks going at once until they all complete. What do you think?

Sounds like a great idea.

Version 0.6.1 addresses this. Set flow.maxParallel to control the number of simultaneous tasks to run in parallel.
