Shared memory and atomics

# Lars Hansen (9 years ago)

The shared memory and atomics spec entered Stage 2 at the TC39 meeting this week, and the spec repository was moved to tc39/ecmascript_sharedmem.

For the sake of the historical record I'm hoping to keep discussion (outside the TC39 meetings) confined to Issues on the tracker for that repository as much as possible, and I ask those of you that have an interest in the feature to make sure you are watching the repository.

Over the next few months the work on this feature will focus on refining and solidifying the API and addressing remaining issues around the memory model. All issues that have to be resolved before the spec can advance are marked with the "Stage 3" milestone. Some experimentation with additional features will continue in parallel with the refinement work.
