To be fair, Python and NodeJS are pretty terrible at threading too. Python has the Global Interpreter Lock. NodeJS has worker threads, but they're pretty limited in what they can do IIRC compared to the main thread. Depending on what you're doing, this can matter a lot, or very little. -- Stuart Longland (aka Redhatter, VK4MSL) I haven't lost my mind... ...it's backed up on a tape somewhere.
