Hi @lyric vault @stable flume , are there any details avaialble on the implementation and/or usage of the TaskGroup or on how to use async/schedule tasks to run concurrently in Mojo at the moment? The only example I found is this explanation by Jack #1276206591510843443 message , wondering if y'all can provide more insights?
E.g. is it possible to await tasks one by one and not the whole group at once?

The use-case I have in mind is non-blocking networking in Lightbug. Potentially looking at implementing some simple analogue of Mio in Rust https://docs.rs/mio/1.0.2/mio/index.html , to that point also wondering if there is some event polling availiable in Mojo that we don't see in stdlib or if I have to rely on epoll/kqueue?

mio - Rust

Mio is a fast, low-level I/O library for Rust focusing on non-blocking APIs and event notification for building high performance I/O apps with as little overhead as possible over the OS abstractions.

Think the work going on in async at the moment is going on at the compiler level.

I’m slowly moving towards this but I need some more stuff in coroutines before I can implement it in a reasonable way.
