There are people working on changing that, for what it's worth.



Indeed. Blossom[0], a mobile MVC client framework for business apps, is being updated as we speak to split apps into a UI/animation thread, with the application/model layer/network in a web Worker on a separate thread.

Blossom sounds pretty neat!
