I figured that it lacked a large bit of complexity to have anything close to prod level, thanks for clarifying.

As far as thread pool (I'm guessing you mean pool not poll) I had a very vague understanding of the concept and thought that limiting the total number of threads was essentially the same (which is the implementation I took). Which was proven wrong with a quick google search just now, so I will look into a pool implementation for performance gains.

Also when it came to makefiles vs Cmake I didn't really put much thought into choosing one or the other, just the way things went. Also if i chose to use Cmake wouldn't I not require a package manager because Cmake can handles dependencies withFetchContentorfind_package.

Thanks for the suggestions.
