why must simulink be single-threaded?

@Felthry bet the reason is that it's a) old and b) parallelizing code is hard

@noiob probably. i'm just complaining, mostly! I think there's some parallelization stuff you can do but you have to both explicitly design your model around that, and buy their multi-threading package to do it (which is another problem but bleh)

@Felthry ah, so they're basically handing the complexity over to the user

@noiob Pretty much, but it is basically a programming language so I don't blame them for doing that

making you pay to be able to use it though, that i do blame them for

@Felthry must be worth it I guess? I actually never used matlab, I used GNU Octave the one time I had to write sth in matlab because it installed way quicker
