Parallel.js: A javascript library for parallel computing (adambom.github.com) 58 points by adambom 13y ago ↗ HN
[–] itsnotvalid 13y ago ↗ Is this compatible with non-worker-ready browsers? [–] hughes 13y ago ↗ Doesn't look like it. Clicking "Try It" does nothing, so I guess it has no single-threaded fallback. [–] adambom 13y ago ↗ You need a way to spawn threads. There may be a way to implement this in the main browser event loop but I have yet to think of a way.

[–] coditor 13y ago ↗ Is there anything you can't build with javascript? [–] Cieplak 13y ago ↗ http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_completeness [–] kevingadd 13y ago ↗ Anything that needs weak references. They might land in ES7, though...
[–] niggler 13y ago ↗ Should add a web worker polyfill like http://code.google.com/p/fakeworker-js/source/browse/src/jav... to the live demos ... [–] adambom 13y ago ↗ Check out the github repo. I wrote a worker.js "polyfill" that's meant to emulate web workers for node. I want to apply this to the browser at some point but for now there are hard dependencies on Worker and URL.
