That's not an inherent limitation of the language though. There's nothing stopping a server-side implementation from adding threads as a first-class feature and breaking away from the spec. Ideally it would do so in a way that's backwards compatible with libraries that assume they're on the same thread as themselves, but that isn't infeasible.
