Concurrent Queue

Definitions

1. A queue implementation built for safe producer and consumer access from multiple threads or tasks simultaneously. Concurrent queues are used in worker pools, schedulers, and pipelines where many operations must enqueue and dequeue work without corrupting state.

   In plain English: A queue that supports multiple simultaneous producers and consumers safely.

   Example: "The job executor replaced its old list with a concurrent queue so many producers could submit tasks while worker threads consumed them safely."
