In JS, if you assign a string to a var containing an object... it will become an object.
Michael, I'm sorry to say JavaScript is not "safe". Try Java/Haskell/Fortran. JavaScript is the land of pragmatic algorithms and "for internals and abstracted away from you in a safe way". Workers are cool. I like it. But for those who knows internals, it is very very expensive. And messaging with one worker is easy peasy. Try with 5. That amazing onmessages everywhere without a good organization and you will reclaim your Visual Studio in no time. I'm talking about do a single async rasterizeTheWholeGameStuff() {} And all the stuff, as a simple async or callback, run inside a green thread. Is that really so much? I don't think so. I think all of your statements against it, till now, are not considering about being "seamless". Bösch, I think greenlets is a great example... but I'd take it in a second step, thinking about that additionals I put above. They can't even agree with an existing, full of racing condition and no atomicity clojured function body, to be run SEAMLESS in another thread. Maybe if I create an e-mail like g...@gmail.com or michiok...@gmail.com...
