Hi,
A long time ago I read your blog post about a new multithread Sapien 'Host' which would allow running PS code as multi-thread. I can't find it now but it was definitely there.
Can you give us an update regarding this matter?

Re: Old blog post about a new multi-thread Sapien 'Host'
Oh boy that was a long time ago. I cannot find it either and it was most likely me writing that. I only recall at sometime planning on something like that, not many details.
Basically it was shot down since it would forever tie the execution of a script to a SAPIEN Script host. The script would not operate running in the regular shell.
That would at the very least create a support problem. Additionally, since Powershell now has jobs (which really are external processes) it seems to be a duplication of effort.
Can you give us some details about what drives this question?

The main reason is how painful the usage of Jobs is, even with SAPIEN Job Tracker helpers (coping functions, weird syntax, code complexity and the ability to debug the code inside the job etc) compared to the c# Tasks usage.
I would gladly accept the tradeoffs that you mention because those are completely irrelevant when the script itself is a fully fledged GUI application.
