Besides the extra overhead, scripts and code, I guess this is a good alternative. The thing is. I'm currently working on a project that I'm forced to do with *cough* M$ C# *cough*. I hate everything about it except for the threading. Which is... not so bad. :) With just a teeny bit of extra code I'm able to call some functions or methods in seporate threads and wait untill they're done. Just think it would be nice... :)
