A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

I've got a lot of polling/blocking-call concurrency happening on my desktop application and im looking to get some of thes ethings to start sharing threads. Many of them have `while(true) { doBlockingCall(); sleep(PollPeriod); }` I was thinking I could use a `ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor` with `scheduleAtFixedRate` to get these threads to do something during their off-duty cycle. The problem is I intrinsically need an unbounded thread pool since I dont have any static gaurantees about how many blocking-callers there will be. 

I figured I'd follow this: <https://stackoverflow.com/a/21998149/1307108>

_bad idea_. `ensurePrestart()` will create a new thread _regardless of whether or not a thread is available_ if your core pool size is not met. 

Anybody have any suggestions?
