Description

The Julia memory metrics are great! Something similar for the number for tasks would be awesome. I’m thinking:

  • current number of active (runnable?) tasks
  • total number of tasks ever spawned

Idea courtesy of @NHDaly.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing memory metrics implementation in Julia and create similar tracking for tasks. Focus on adding counters for active and total tasks spawned in the runtime.
