Hi Dima

Thank you for the great suggestion!

Are you actively working with threads?
Would you like to be added to the hxworker repository?

Not sure if workers will find their way into the std library, but this library is essentially a testbed for a simple cross-target worker thread API.

Workers in Flash did not seem very mature at the time and faced various challenges on AIR mobile, so the initial idea was to support references to external SWFs only, similar to JS external file references.

The situation may have changed by now and it would be nice to expose more options anyway, so feel free to restructure that if you want.

Furthermore, I've recollections of possible discrepancies between C++ and Neko threading, which would be good to test. It appears others may have noticed related behaviour.

As you probably know, Java has since acquired threading API support, so that would be good to add also.

Cheers!
