Do threads work in Ruby Shoes yet?

Question

Any work going on to get other ruby threads working with Shoes?

Answer 1

Threads work in ruby shoes, the problem is that they are green threads and you have to be very careful not to take out your UI. Besides you have primitives like "every" that allow you to run bits of code every certain interval.

I think _why was moving shoes to run on 1.9 which will give a much more compelling multi threaded story.
