i'm to the point where so much of the apps i'm writing need to be
preemptively threaded that very little of my apps are utilizing the
framework. I feel like rb may be going in a different direction than
me. It'd be nice to get some confirmation from RS that they at least
want to add mpthreads at some point. unfortunately, its something
that a small minority of their users will ever use. I fear I'm going
to have to start exploring the possibility of jumping ship for Cocoa.

RB only uses cooperative threads, which means you total thread

to do multiproc magic for us is a bad idea, but i think it's time
RB add a real preemptive thread class to the framework, and do the
necessary work to make the framework safer to call form
mpthreads. (you can build mpthreads via declares now, but so much
of rb isn't threadsafe, you're very limited in what you can do in
them.)
I'd agree with Mike
Making it so a plugin or thread can call the framework in a thread
safe way is a prerequisite
