Im trying sometihng like
But I believe this isn't doing what I'd expect.
Is there a way to wait for a collection of actions such as tasks in this way?
tasks := []
tasks.add (task (:: log.info "foo")
tasks.add (task (:: do.something "else")
tasks.do: |t| t.wait
log.info "all done"But I believe this isn't doing what I'd expect.

You can run a set of lambdas as a group individual tasks and wait for them to complete.

You can find some example usages in the tests: https://github.com/toitlang/toit/blob/master/tests/task-group-test.toit

The alternative is probably creating a

Here is another example that shows the simplifications achieved when starting to use
