It serves as a powerful **alternative to OpenMP and Intel TBB**, offering better nested parallelism, sanitizer-clean code, and explicit thread pool control. Dispenso is used in hundreds of projects at Meta (formerly Facebook) and has been heavily tested and iterated on in production.\n\n**Key advantages over OpenMP and TBB:**\n- **No thread explosion** with nested parallel loops - dispenso\u0027s work-stealing prevents deadlocks and oversubscription\n- **Clean with ASAN/TSAN** - fully sanitizer-compatible, unlike many TBB versions\n- **Thread-safe shared futures** - `std::experimental::shared_future`-like API that TBB lacks, safe for multiple concurrent waiters, with much better performance than `std::future`\n- **Portable** - C++14 compatible with no compiler-specific pragmas or e",
