Re: [Chicken-users] An alternative thread system?

[Adam C. Emerson]

Good evening, gentle creatures,

Whatever overhaul the interface and model get, I think the
implementation needs some work, too.  I/O blocking everything (with
the exception of TCP and the REPL) is somewhat annoying.  Having green
threads keeps Scheme programs from taking advantage of multiple
processors.  And, while dangerous, it would also be nice to have other
threads continue running while one is blocked in a C library call,
though obviously the programmer would have to know his library and not
schmutz things up.

Thank you.
