This will change when we add threading support (already in progress), but even then, it's not yet clear if it will be possible to just arbitrarily call Julia code from C++ threads. There's a lot of crazy things that need to be done to make threading work reliably and conveniently, especially in the presence of garbage collection, which will need stop all threads by signalling them so that it can mark and sweep while nothing is being changed.
