Awesome!

You may want to read my (long) post in the other thread if you haven't
already - I described some of my thoughts about the design of C++17
parallel algorithm runtimes.

Yes, I am hoping to contribute to this effort starting sometime in
June. I need to speak with Marshall to figure out how I can be most
effective here.

I'd be happy to collaborate. Some of the other HPX developers may be
interested in contributing as well.
