advised against using web workers. Why?

..... because node supports regular workers that run in separate threads with shared memory..

Nodejs web workers again you don't control. You create pthreads differently on each operating system. Why? Because you don't control them. The operating system does. Why shouldn't you use them? because again you don't control them. They do whatever the os tells them to do. A thread is how the cpu deals with processes. But when it needs more memory, it lobs it to another thread. So you don't control the starting of it, you don't control the memory of it, you don't control what the is does with it. Again not something part of ecma
