Introduction to article

HTML5 applications are obviously written using JavaScript. But compared to other kinds of development environments (like native ones), JavaScript historically suffers from an important limitation: all its execution process remains inside a unique thread.
This could be pretty annoying with today’s multi-core processors like the i5/i7 containing up to 8 logical CPUs—and even with the latest ARM mobile processors being dual or even quad-cores.
