It seems that tasks are like workers, but different, and you'd have to do a
lot of extra work to precisely define the execution environment of the task
script.

It also seems that you have to precisely define how different tasks
interact. For example is the current path left in the canvas by task 1
usable by the code in task 2? You also have to define how this works in
WebGL.

I don't think this supports a worker/task generating a steady stream of
frames, e.g. for a 3D game. Does it?

I'm not all that enthusiastic :-)
