Is it possible for Emacs Lisp to get something like multiprocessing from Python?

  24 819 6.2 Emacs Lisp

  Simple library for asynchronous processing in Emacs

Chrome does not fork itself, which is what you are asking for in your original post. Chrome uses child processes which you can also use in Emacs if you want. Either use async package or primitives offered by Emacs, or start named servers and use server-eval-at.

Sure, but Erlang is also meant to program telefon switches, nodes that control card readers and similar in a distributed environment, not for interactive applications, though such exist too :). Nothing bad about Erlang but Emacs is not Erlang. It would be easier to implement Emacs in Erlang, than to re-design Elisp to be Erlang.
