Yes, definitely concurrency. My understanding is that cooperative threading could be in Emacs-25, if a few people put enough work into it. There was a proof-of-concept "working" a couple years ago (IIUC Gnus could run in its own thread). For true concurrency in Elisp you might have to wait for Emacs-30. Tho you might get true concurrency in Emacs sooner if we switch to Guile. Stefan
