Do we get the fearless concurrency part of rust on wasm?

  Webassembly (and JavaScript) are single-threaded. The platform has web workers, but they are more like processes since they mostly don't share data. There do seem to be some proposals to add threads, though. Also, it's possible (but hard) to build cooperative multithreading on top of it; apparently Go is going to do that.

    Note that there is also single-threaded concurrency, since concurrency is not parallelism. The upcoming async stuff is going to help with this.
