🤦🏽♀️ Thanks for explaining, my brain must have corrected the race condition.
Regarding threads: I have had good experience with using thread safe queues everywhere to exchange data between threads, it’s the right tool in many cases, but I doubt queues to be useful when coding for performance.
Could be I was not clear when I wrote performance, I am talking about High Performance Computing, where you want to spend all CPU cycles on solving your problem. While taking Amdal’s Law into account. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amdahl’s_law

Umm, queueing is standard practice particularly when a task is performance intensive and needs limited resources.
Basically any programming language using any kind of asynchronous runtime is using queues in their scheduler, as well.
