cycle detection for join #6

Open

Description

@dherman

I believe that Task.prototype.join will cause a deadlock if there are cyclic joins. Should we do eager cycle detection? Some sort of garbage collection?

    If we can get weak references with finalization, maybe we can just rely on the GC to collect cycles of deadlocked tasks.
