We plan to make the generated code and runtime system thread safe. This
makes it possible to create threads with separate heaps and stacks.

We would also like to have threads that share the heap. Unfortunately
the synchronization primitives supported by current processors are so
slow that these slow down the execution of programs too much.

Kind regards,
