I think you are being willfully disagreeable here. There is a Lisp with the style of threads you claimed doesn’t exist. So you’re simply wrong with your claim. Also even if that didn’t exist, no one can say that a day’s worth of work is a prohibitive barrier to getting things done.


I suppose part of the context got lost here but no, I haven't gotten out of my way to disagree specifically; more like I got frustrated because the other guy seemed to purposefully miss the point from where I was standing.

I don't want just a best-effort-with-what-we-have-in-our-runtime-that-was-not-ever-designed-for-it implementation however, I want proper preemptive scheduling and a transparent M:N threading model, very akin to what Erlang/Elixir have.

I was made aware of Clojure's core.async but after reviewing it, it's IMO not good enough. Though as others have said it can be used as a building block for something better. That seems to be true as well.
