There are no plans to add multithreading to the platform.
Currently, we are not spending resources on parallel execution (with isolates), either. There are other easier features that have more impact.
Eventually, we will revisit this topic, and see if we can make things easier. Multithreading itself is extremely unlikely, but there are other ways we can make parallel execution better; for example with easier data sharing between isolates.

- floitsch 9y agoFor example: - better type promotion (`if (x is! A) throw "not A"; useAsA(x);`. - Optional new/const. - Allowing named arguments at any position at the call site. These are all easier to specify and implement, and reach more users.
