If anybody wants to play with MT ES (I'm not saying I think this is a good idea) -- you might want to dig up a ~ten-year old version of Spidermonkey, perhaps the JS 1.7 release (MT "safety" broke with Array Extras). Then add this code, which implements a basic Thread class: https://github.com/wesgarland/gpsee/blob/master/modules/thread/ (hopefully that code builds without too much effort.......I stopped using it as soon as it was finished, I did not find the paradigm useful in my work).
The result is lock-free property access (anarchy!) on a global object shared across operating system threads. You might be able to then prototype a smarter API in ES3 and see how you like it. I think you might also be able to try similar experiments with Rhino using Java threads.
