So shared memory is a terrible idea and C/C++ programmer "fetish", until JS has it and then then you "actually really like it"?

[jnbiche]

Fair criticism. But the idea of a shared typed array is appealing, just for the simplicity. If you must have shared memory in JS, this is not a bad way to do it.

JS has web workers, not shared memory between threads.

Yes, but grandparent was reflecting on a proposal to add shared memory to web workers in the form of shared typed arrays.
