Re: Yahoo talk about the software revolution that is JavaScript

said by Matt:

As of now, JS is completely incapable of taking advantage of multiple CPU cores
Good! That way I can still use my PC while one of the four cores is locked-up with JavaScript crap.

And I'm serious!

Call me when JS is multi-threaded. As of now, JS is completely incapable of taking advantage of multiple CPU cores and most AJAX apps will peg a single CPU core ... easily.
I am pretty sure that is one of the very things Crockford plans on addressing--properly using an event queue in a single threaded system rather than needing multiple threads.
A single queue is worthless for certain types of AJAX apps, like »www.alphatheory.com/, that need raw processing power. Calculations need to be done concurrently, not serially. Unless I'm misunderstanding the way an event queue in a single threaded system operates?

The video is up and it turns out it is a follow on to a 5 part series Crockford did a while back which I had already watched (compiled on nettuts for conveninence).

Douglas Crockford — Crockford on JavaScript -- Scene 6: Loopage

I am watching it now.
