i wonder how locking and synchronization would work then. will there be any keywords for allowign this. my (loose) understanding was that with the old (current rather) js there is a single thread that does everything so locking is not required.

the spec does say message-passing is the coordination mechanism, but that does not automatically imply mutexes and conditional waits...
