Show HN: Knitting – shared-memory function calls for JavaScript workers

Knitting – shared-memory function calls for JavaScript workers is a business in show hn launch.

Profile

What it isKnitting is a from-scratch concurrency framework for JavaScript built on shared memory. Instead of manually wiring message protocols, you just call functions across threads.Why I built itA couple years ago I was doing a multithreaded simulation in Python. It was slow, so I rewrote it in JS — and then hit workers.Using postMessage felt like more work than the simulation itself, and it still wasn’t fast.That left me with a question: why is message passing the default when shared memory already exists?What’s differentThe core idea is simple: make cross-thread calls feel like normal function calls.call.myTask(args) → returns a Promise, no manual protocol.Under the hood: - shared-memory

Within the show hn launch space, the company focuses on its core offering rather than a broad product line.

The company is listed at the Show HN launch stage of development.
