learning about concurrency and multithreaded programming is so cool and i want to build a project using these techniques. i would also like to dive into the world of lock-free and wait-free algorithms but that can come later.

i had a lot of fun writing a multithreaded tolkien (token) bucket, it has the added "feature" that it blocks clients until the bucket is refilled with tokens. maybe i can deploy it and play around with it against an echo server or something and see if that helps it scale / not crash.
