Multiprocessor with v8 and node.js

Question

I was reading that V8 isn't multithreaded, and can't be by design.

Is this true? Is it really the case that I can have a script optimized to run concurrently (on node.js) but that concurrency can't extend to multiple processors? I kinda thought that was a major reason for a concurrent design.

Answer 1

See limiting execution time. It's possible but I'm not sure how likely it is to be as easy as say Java.
