* All communication is done via strings. This is really a hack which takes advantage of the immutability of strings in JS. Maybe some kind of queueing/message passing system would be better but that is another can of worms.
* Loading workers via a separate file is nice for the web, and I get the point that it makes sense for keeping workers out of the global namespace. However, I would have liked to see something function (or even object) based.
All that being said. I think it is a good start and is coming at the concurrency problem from the right angle (i.e. no threads/locking).

So what better solution are you proposing?
