Subject: Support for SRFI 18 / 21 (multithreading)
Date: Thu, 17 Jan 2019 04:34:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CABgWrqqFk2dSFr2zm4to=EMbbiKMsQr3Viw1sUrAd7mQahCCFA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello Per,

I came across SRFI 18 / 21 (I don't really know concretely how the two
differ), I see that neither is supported in Kawa.

From a quick look at the API, I'm guessing that the SRFI API can be
implemented using the Java threading APIs. Am I missing something?

Is there a reason that the SRFI is not supported? is it only because no one
has looked into it, or are there deeper reasons?

If it is indeed feasible, would an implementation be welcome?

Thanks!
