**Multipool** is a Rust library that provides a configurable and efficient thread pool with optional work-stealing capabilities. It allows you to easily spawn tasks and handle concurrent workloads, while also offering a builder API to customize the number of threads and choose between the global queue or the work-stealing mode.
## Features
- **Configurable Threads:** Specify the number of worker threads for concurrent task handling.
- **Global Queue or Work-Stealing:** Choose between simple global queues or efficient work-stealing for load balancing.
- **Priority Scheduling:** Assign priorities to tasks for more control over execution order.
- **Metrics and Monitoring:** Track active threads, queued tasks, running tasks and completed tasks in real-time.
- **Macros:** Simplify task submission, metrics logging, and thread pool creation with ergonomic macros.
- **Typed-State Builder Pattern:** The ThreadPoolBuilder ensures that thread pools are built correctly with a strongly-typed API, enforcing valid combinations of features like priority scheduling and work-stealing.
- **Graceful Shutdown:** Cleanly shut down the thread pool while ensuring that all tasks are completed.
- **Customizable Metrics Collector:** Integrate your own metrics collection logic for application-specific monitoring and analytics.
