That is something that has frustrated me a  bit about JavaScript too.  There
have been some instances where I've wanted to be able to do multi-threaded
programming with it.  So sometimes I start to consider other scripting
languages - For instance, Python seems really nice.  Python supports
multi-threading and also has a very good library in general, and it's also made
to encourage people to write code that is easy to read.  I've heard good things
about Ruby too..

I'll have to look into that with JavaScript.
