@mathuin right, yeah, for sure I knew I'd need to implement something code-wise. Just wanted to make sure Rust threads would be able to use more than one of my cores.

and re-wrapper, @carey sent me link to : https://github.com/rayon-rs/rayon

Haven't tried it yet though, but it looks really lightweight

@schlink @carey Yeah that's what I was actually looking for. I believe it's pretty efficient, I mean that's one of rust's main goals, zero-cost abstractions.

@mathuin @carey

right -- my issue is that I wrote my big loop as a `for` loop (like `for word in word_list { do things }`). Can I just do

word_list.par_iter( |word|
do things
)

my code: https://github.com/sts10/half-entropy-word-checker/blob/master/src/main.rs#L46

@carey @mathuin

ah, sorry. bet it's

words.par_iter().for_each(|word|
println!("Word is {}", word)
);

@schlink @carey My initial thought is that there would be no issue, but I've yet to do enough rust to be sure.

@mathuin @schlink That’s what I understand should work, too. Maybe even

for word in words.par_iter() {
println!(...)
}

noting that println! uses a mutex lock, so that specific example will probably get slower.
