    Hi,

    I was just wandering if now with the new ecs and Job system, we can have multi-threaded support on the browser like we have for desktop applications.

    thank you

    Eventually, yes -- browsers are just now starting to add support for the needed bits, like SharedArrayBuffer. We decided to skip multithreading for the first version to reach the broadest set of devices and browsers. But it will definitely be possible down the line. When we move to C# we'll be sharing the same code, so you'll be able to write jobified code that will run in threads where available, but otherwise just run single/main-threaded where not.
