Workers as in multiple threads that run simultaneously instead of concurrently (true multithreading) or would the compiler really hate that? |

Maybe we could make an extension that can start web workers, but I'm not very familiar with that area |

It is perfectly possible to create workers.
I have tested them in some cases, and they work perfectly when passed JS via a scriptURL; however, creating them for an extension in a way that utilizes a TurboWarp thread could be very complicated—or even impossible—since they rely on generators.
In any case, an extension dedicated to this is possible, given that it is still just JS code.
