Traditionally, JavaScript has been a single-threaded language. Nearly all online forum posts, books, online documentation, and libraries refer to the language as single threaded. Thanks to recent advancements in the language--such as the Atomics and SharedArrayBuffers objects and Web Workers in the browser--JavaScript is now a multi-threaded language. These features will go down as being the biggest paradigm shift for the world' s most popular programming language. Multithreaded JavaScript explores the various features that JavaScript runtimes have at their disposal for implementing multithreaded programming, providing both practical real-world examples, as well as reference material. Learn what multithreaded programming is and how you can benefit from itUnderstand the differences between a web worker, a service worker, and a worker threadKnow when and when not to use threads in an applicationOrchestrate communication between threads by leveraging the Atomics objectBuild high-performance applications using the knowledge you gain from this bookBenchmark performance to learn if you' ll benefit from multithreading
