What is the equivalent of kotlin.native.concurrent.Worker or Thread for kotlin/wasi in the kotlin-stdlib?? Do we have any??

[Svyatoslav Kuzmich [JB]]

Kotlin/Wasm is single threaded. Threads could be added in the future. They would need:

• Core WebAssembly proposal https://github.com/WebAssembly/shared-everything-threads.
• WASI proposal https://github.com/WebAssembly/wasi-threads
Both are now in a very early stage.

I see. So, is there any equivalent of Promise/Deffered/CompletableFuture in Kotlin/Wasm - wasi (not Kotlin/Wasm - wasmJs)??

[Svyatoslav Kuzmich [JB]]

There will be stream and future in WASI Preview 3. See this great presentation with a lot of tech details.
