    Simple library for asynchronous processing in Emacs

  • IMO the best option currently is async by Wiegley. It will manage Emacs instances for you and do all the low-level synchronization and messaging for you, so you can work in higher level abstractions as if you are working with threads.

  • u/arthuno1, Thanks for you detailed answer and stating the problem correctly. This is the first time I need to do those kind of programming and this useful to use the proper vocabulary. So with your words, my case is concurrent (asynchronous) processing in order not to lock my main thread. I'm generating a bunch of html string that I write on a bunch of files (I wrote a static site generator that leverage org-mode and https://jack.tonyaldon.com) and this part of the computation should be done asynchronously. I'll give a try to async.el by Wiegley. Thanks for pointing this out.
