std::vector::resize is so damn slow! and sadly has no work around, it can be 2x slower than it needs to be in some use cases. I see why graphics programmers don't use the STL. Can't blame them! my use case was generating vertices and indices btw...

Didnโ€™t get to understand the C++ executors proposal until I tried implementing one. Expressing lifetime dependencies as compile time graphs make async so much easier. I must say Iโ€™m really impressed, The C++ community is lucky to have so many intelligent and resourceful folks.
