There are many scenarios where native applications drive their threads using internal synchronization (mutexes / futexes, lockless algorithms, work stealing) where it is either impossible or impractical to change the threading model to be event driven. Being able to bring applications like these to the sandboxed and portable web environment is a benefit to users because it makes them easier to run, and Emscripten. asm.js, and WebAssembly have successfully brought many apps to the web's ecosystem already. We plan to continue prototyping the ability to process pending tasks as a compatibility and interoperability mechanism with native codebases. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
