Description

This currently generates and error message: FETCH+USE_PTHREADS not yet compatible with wasm (shared.make_fetch_worker is asm.js-specific)

I guess we need to port shared.make_fetch_worker to wasm?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Port the shared.make fetch worker function to support the wasm backend, likely by implementing threading with WebAssembly threads or JavaScript Workers.
