Dear OpenLayers users & dev, Pardon the non-geo post, but I am wondering if anyone out there has come up across issues with synchronicity in javascript?
After pouring over this stuff for several hours, I think I am pretty resolved to just say "ok, javascript is event-driven and not truly multithreaded, so there is no need to worry". In the off-chance that someone out there might have information otherwise, please let me know. Below are two of the links that have fed my brain for the last few hours: debate: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/124764/are-mutexes-needed-in-javascript implementation of a mutex in js: http://www.developer.com/lang/jscript/article.php/3592016 (note that his actual code for this *only* runs in ie, which obviously docks it a fair amount of credit) cheers, erik
