Threads are fine
Locks are the problem

Can we have simple data structures?
Yes, and we can have useful concurrent ones
String and Symbol
! irb> obj.method "to_s"! => #<Method: Object(Kernel)#to_s>!

Can we have stack bytecode?
Yes, and we can have register bytecode
assert_gte r1, r2, 0! add r1, r2, r3! # ^a
^b ^c! set_local r3, 2
and we can have assertion bytecode
record r1, r2! add r1, r2, r3! # ^a ^b
^c! set_local r3, 2
and we can have instrumentation bytecode
