As I said, threading is an "advanced" feature, and clearly here are
many developers that are afraid of something they don't understand, so
simply think banning the feature is the solution. Simply learn
multi-threading, get some experience with it, then using threads are
not a problem. It's the same deal as using Pointers. IF YOU DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU ARE DOING, YOU ARE F**KED.
