Thanks for watching!

I haven't looked into OpenMP at all, beyond the short example 
from one of your links, so take everything I say with a grain of 
salt. Or two...

Personally I don't find the `#pragma` approach that elegant to be 
honest. It also seems to be limited to just one machine.

The sender/receiver model is literally just the abstraction of an 
asynchronous computation. This allows you to use it as a building 
block to manage work across multiple compute resources.
