The standard library contains 72 modules in REPOS/nitpick/stdlib/.

Import Pattern

use "stdlib_file.npk".*;    // bare filename — compiler searches stdlib/

Threading

• Thread pool, channels, atomics, mutexes, condvars, rwlocks, barriers, actors (via stdlib wrappers on nitpick-libc)

Concurrency Modules (v0.11.0)

• thread.npk, mutex.npk, condvar.npk, rwlock.npk — via nitpick_libc_process
• channel.npk, actor.npk, thread_pool.npk — built on above
