Julia and Concurrency

iam a bit curious about the plans for concurrency in Julia.

• Multithreading is a #2 in the “Compiler work priorities”
• You can check the current multithreading pulls : Pull requests · JuliaLang/julia · GitHub

@StefanKarpinski

Multithreading is the next highest priority because we want to merge the new parallel runtime as soon as possible and allow people to start writing and using threaded package code before things get too far along. Ecosystems for single-threaded languages tend to start to bake that assumption in very deep if they’re around for too long. Julia’s package ecosystem is small enough and young enough that if we introduce proper multithreading soon, it will adapt quickly.
