So, to sum things up,
1 - one GUI thread is enough and more is definitely bad.
1 - not having system threads running several copies of the interpreter is
not a major hindrance.
2 - having the interpreter run in only one thread eases the implementation
of the GC.
3 - threads are really useful for :
* coding style (a very personal matter !!)
* keeping the system responsive under external API calls.
What triggered this discussion is the fact that some calls in the Ruby lib
actually block according to Dave Thomas excellent book.
All the contributions seem to point in the same direction : providing a
simple worker thread wrapper around some of the extension modules should be
more than enough.
My thought was that if the Ruby API could provide a standard easy worker
threading framework for the extensions module to call, it would be nice.
That way, the interpreter could remain untouched.
I'll try to work on that.
Cheers.
