Web workers

[gedw99]

Is there any notion of web workers yet so we can do many things at once without stalling the gui ?

I am using web workers and service workers for non cogent projects where I just build html web apps currently . It ensures the users gets good perf.

service workers are needed for tab coordination and http interception to backend .

@gedw99 It would definitely be nice to do that at some point if possible. We already use a web worker for the updating and caching of the binary here, but I am not sure how it would work to use it for running the actual app logic. If you have any more ideas for how it would work, that would be appreciated. I remembered seeing hack-pad/hackpad#11 before, so I looked at that for ideas, but you are obviously already aware of that thread :)

Please also note that for #1416 web workers are not necessary for the solution I described there, but true concurrency would definitely be nice.
