Re: Are Perl6 threads preemptive or cooperative?

[Glenn Linderman]

Cooperative threads don't support multiple CPUs very well.   If the choice is
made to do cooperative threads because it is easier, another choice should be
made to at least allow independent threads to exist, that do little sharing of
data, except via the I/O system (pipes or the equivalent), so that it would be
possible to code multi-CPU stuff at some level.
