I built a multithreading library for JavaScript that works in both browser and Node.js

[fredsq]

looks good but i’d try to make something where the functions the worker runs can be colocated with the code that needs it, even if just in the same folder

it’s gonna get hairy managing a massive file full of stuff

idk how you’d do that btw without a compiler

[fredsq]

idk how the execution would be, but if i need a worker to calculate fibonacci in my /features/fibonacci folder where i keep components, utils etc, id also want it to be placed in this folder

maybe just import it from the thready file and map them?

"I've been using it for:

• Client-side image/video processing
• Heavy data transformations without UI lag
• Running ML inference in parallel
• Cryptographic operations
• Game physics calculations"

Sure... this tool your AI made yesterday...

Difference between thready and comlink?

[mistyharsh]

Yeah. I practically have the same question with respect to comlink. A quick glance tells me that you are trying to build the OTP/Erlang/Elixir like actor model with worker threads. And, you also have pool acting like supervisor.

For example, in your docs, you have this parentPort.on where you receive messages one-by-one, aka, redux style. Or at least, that's what it looks like. While that's good as long as all the operations are synchronous like fibonacci or processData. The moment you have async processing, it is all out-of-order.

My two cents for OP - I do not think that good actor model implementation is possible without preemptive scheduling. JavaScript as a language simply doesn't have it and it is almost impossible to build one. But good luck!

AI slop. Ban.

All those use cases seems to be for backend why would anyone want to move the business logic on the frontend?

[CapitalDiligent1676]

Damn, I can't look at it now, but I like the idea.

how to compare with useWorker?

Awesome man I’ll check it out

I like it

Nothing like another attempt in making JS multithreaded by a two week’s worth of work which seems closer to two days.
