Well, I heard that for e.g. B2G we moved from JavaScript workers to C++ threads due to memory constraints. It might well be that this is a solvable problem in JavaScript engines with sufficient research, it's just at the moment (and in the past) it's been blocking us from doing certain things. -- https://annevankesteren.nl/ _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
