Hey, I just want to confirm - is the library thread-safe or not?

Thanks

@shlomishasho27 though i haven't really tested, i believe it should be thread-safe, b/c the functions don't rely on mutation of the inputs. i.e., it should be ok to call the distance and scoring methods from different threads - i don't see a use case where this would cause a problem.

thanks.

@shlomishasho27 were you able to run the distance and score functions in separate threads?
