This is exactly the reason I'm concerned about investing in Crystal (and OCaml, where multicore is also in an awkward state). I need to be confident that when I need parallelism, the language supports it (good threading primitives are imperative too, so not just pthreads).
- RX14 9y agoWe really really want to support parallelism and we've had some basic successes so far. We're very confident we want this, and we're confident we can come up with a performant solution: despite being a different language our parallelism solution will likely end up close to Go's which has largely solved this already. We're not there yet but I'm confident the main barrier is time and manpower to implement it, not willpower or technical reasons.
