Few newbie questions.
Where can I use this? inside a node server? or can I use it on the clientside?
From the docs it says multi-threaded JavaScript run-time, so is it like V8?
Can we make use of WebAssembly and create a library to support multi-threading much more effectively?

Hi! You can only use Nexus on the server right now. It's a stand-alone environment and doesn't require a Node.js installation.

It's not based on V8, it's based on JSC.

I just introduced WebAssembly support to the repo. So yes, you can use multi-threading with WebAssembly now. Although I'm still ironing out the details.
