There's the concurrency branch in the repository. It needs to be revived (didn't see any activity for the last 2 years), and was not really ready for prime time last time I looked at it (see http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2013-08/msg00704.html and its continuation into Sep 2013). But it's not far from its proclaimed goal.
