  • gcmh

    The Garbage Collector Magic Hack

    • One possible solution is to switch to a LSP approach. You should also take a look at the garbage-collector-magic-hack package: https://github.com/emacsmirror/gcmh

  • GNU Emacs

    Mirror of GNU Emacs

    • Also, as others have pointed out, coding a new multithreaded emacs is too ambitious. You should browse the C source. There are more than 400,000 lines of C code there. You're not going to refactor that easily. This is not happening.

  • lsp-mode

    Emacs client/library for the Language Server Protocol

    • Are you running emacs-29? It has numerous speed-ups compared to emacs-28 and older versions, many of them coded by Mattias Engdegård, e.g. commit def6fa4246. I have a fresh build of emacs-29 running on Linux and a new mac with an M1 CPU, and it's stupid fast. I don't use the native-comp feature. I rarely notice any hesitation or slowness. I don't use Elpy. I do use lsp mode.

  • gcmh

    • gcmh doesn't solve the blocking waits, and can lead to some weird performance issues, caveat emptor

  • uemacs

    Random version of microemacs with my private modificatons

    • Why don't you ask Linus? Or even better, read his motivation in his fork of microemacs (not GNU Emacs).

  • emacs-async

    Simple library for asynchronous processing in Emacs

    • Async process can do that. Have you checked async library by Wiegley? You can use another emacs process as a sort of clean interpreter thread similar to javascript workers.

  • lem

    Common Lisp editor/IDE with high expansibility

    • Indeed, at this point it's just better to contribute to Lem.
