Golang Task Lifecycle Management

go get vawter.tech/stopper

This package contains a utility for gracefully terminating long-running tasks within a Go program. A stopper.Context extends the stdlib context.Context API with a soft-stop signal and includes task-launching APIs similar to sync.WaitGroup or sync.ErrGroup. This API supports nested contexts for use-cases where tasks may be hierarchical in nature.
