Crate wasm_bindgen_spawn 

A Worker based multithreading library for Rust and WebAssembly.

This uses the WebAssembly threads proposal and shared memory to communicate between workers (once they are started), instead of postMessage. The threads proposal is currently in phase 4 and available in all major browsers and runtimes.

This library will remain on version 0.0.x until all features required are in stable Rust, standardized in WASM, and baseline widely available across browsers.

To get started using this library, please refer to the book. The Playground also has runnable examples.
