[Gambas-user] Multithreaded Programs

[Jussi Lahtinen]

I pretty much agree.
Gambas as well as other RAD languages are very good for GUI
programming, and generally for not CPU intensive purposes.
If you really need speed, use libraries written with C/C++ or similar.
BUT it would be very nice if Gambas could handle most things so
quickly that you don't need to use C/C++.

Maybe Gambas could launch multiple interpreters to enable multi-threading..?
But I think you have already considered and discarded that idea...

Maybe interpreter itself should use multi-threading?
Although I don't know is there yet any good way to do that, meaning
without installing TBB or similar to enable
easy using like parallel_for, parallel_loop etc.
