comlink VS objectbuffer

Feels like taking a general Comlink-like system & making it more component oriented. Good ideas. https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/comlink

Reminds me of Comlink

Now that we have a way to create PDF files, we can create a web worker to run the renderPDF function in a separate thread. Here’s an example of a web worker that uses comlink to expose the renderPDF function as an asynchronous function:

To streamline the process of configuring the Service Worker and simplify communication between the app and the Service Worker, we will be using the comlink library.

While there's no realistic way to provide a security boundary between JavaScript modules, Workers are a possibility [1].

The code with the more restricted set of permissions must run in the Worker. That code then communicates with the rest of your app through postMessage / SharedArrayBuffer, perhaps using ComLink [2].

The worker API is very simple, you would post a message to the worker. The worker would have the code to process and reply back with the results to the listeners. To make it even easier Google has created the comlink library.

is a great example, which I also tried to (poorly) reimplement myself.

It creates a new data structures that behave as an object for the user but is backed by SharedArrayBuffer in order to support parallel computation over it.

There is a lot of complexity involved in representing arbitrary javascript objects inside an ArrayBuffer whilst making them thread-safe. I'd first point to a library like objectbuffer. There's also more fixed struct-like options such as Google's FlatBuffers or buffer-backed-object.
