Reasoning behind not supporting multithreading in lua? #25

Closed Calandiel closed 2 years ago

Calandiel commented 2 years ago

I'm mostly curious. It doesn't seem like it'd be very difficult and there are common patterns for how one would handle it without running into synchronization issues (see Love2Ds channels and threads)

I'd rather reopen #9 than discussing it in this new issue.

Apologies, I somehow missed that thread (which is embarrassing since I had posted in it myself not that long before opening this issue!)

Hehe, don't worry ^^
