- slaymaker1907 5y agoI think the question is more about what what use cases require multithreading rather than just using multiple processes.
- sshine 5y agoIn functional programming, simply mapping over data lends itself to trivial parallelism. But yes, the use cases that require it are much more interesting. Basically, background processing.
- pjmlp 5y agoGiven that UNIX daemons are mostly processes, how is multhreading relevant for backgrond processing?
