This and service workers. Both are... weird, to say the least
- csmpltn 5y agoWhen I'm seeing half-arsed APIs like this being introduced into so-called "modern" incarnations of the web, I start doubting the technical chops of the people involved and the process as a whole. Is it truly possible that there wasn't anyone with sufficient experience in building concurrency/multi-threading/parallelism APIs involved in building this? Failing to account for the thread-pool scenario, as an example, is just mind boggling.
