Depends on what you're doing, but if you just want to take advantage of multiple cores you can already accomplish that with `cluster`.


I remember when people used to say "you don't need threads, just use fork"!


What do they say now, out of curiosity?


Now they say use fork-join. ;-)

Point is, some people don’t like threads and probably never will. Other people like threads and probably always will. Some languages have threads and many other programming models and then everyone is happy. I want the people who like threads to be happy in JS.
