> I'm very glad that you've been omniscient enough to determine what "proper" parallel support is, though. How's that working out for you? Meanwhile, those of us using JavaScript simply run one process per core

Yeah, and I can do the same thing in Python, and it will be equally as lame: both languages are fundamentally single-threaded.

You act as if JS has all problems solved: Erlang/Elixir/Golang have far superior async & parallel stories and will happily thrash JS/Node in performance and efficiency.

How’s it working out for me? Well I do a lot of stuff in Haskell and Rust now, so pretty great actually.
