Full Threading Support
[Placeholder issue to ensure that threading support remains an active high-priority goal]
Crystal doesn't support threading. This is a mistake. Onyx needs to deviate from Crystal in that respect, for both performance reasons and to solve concurrency issues that stem from [a] fibers being sub-optimal in some cases and [b] IO.select being horribly broken for use in fibers.
Agreed.
By the time the core of Onyx is implemented and stabilized, it might very well have landed in Crystal, but if not, it will be a high-prio issue for me to take on, since I need it myself. And if deviation is necessary (PR's not accepted in Crystal repo) then that's the only way it can go.
I leave the high-pri tag off for now, since the core is the top-pri until done.
I took the liberty to edit out "HIGH PRIORITY: " from title - prioritization is in Roadmap issue.
