Great, thanks!
One note: without Thread.new around the first loop this code could not ever run both loops in parallel, even if MRI had no GIL. Maybe a typo.
Of course, the main thread is a... thread, but how that matters for the issue?
Any line of code that runs synchronously forces the next line to wait. So, we need a Thread.new, just to let the interpreter to reach the next line while the first one is running.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
