A vision of a multi-threaded Emacs

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/emacs

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • emacs-async

    Simple library for asynchronous processing in Emacs

  • Neovim is the same: Lua for in process stuff at the cost of no thread switching, anything you want for out of process stuff (hell an inferior emacs'll work, since you know that runtime is installed: https://github.com/jwiegley/emacs-async ).

  • oneTBB

    oneAPI Threading Building Blocks (oneTBB)

  • Users should work with higher level primitives like tasks, parallel loops, asynchronous functions etc. Think TBB, Thrust, Taskflow, lparallel for CL, etc.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • Thrust

    Discontinued [ARCHIVED] The C++ parallel algorithms library. See https://github.com/NVIDIA/cccl

  • Users should work with higher level primitives like tasks, parallel loops, asynchronous functions etc. Think TBB, Thrust, Taskflow, lparallel for CL, etc.

  • Taskflow

    A General-purpose Parallel and Heterogeneous Task Programming System

  • Users should work with higher level primitives like tasks, parallel loops, asynchronous functions etc. Think TBB, Thrust, Taskflow, lparallel for CL, etc.

  • lparallel

    Parallelism for Common Lisp

  • Users should work with higher level primitives like tasks, parallel loops, asynchronous functions etc. Think TBB, Thrust, Taskflow, lparallel for CL, etc.

  • emacs-request

    Request.el -- Easy HTTP request for Emacs Lisp

  • You mean, John Wigley's async package? Maybe it isn't used so often, however async processes are used in Emacs. Check for example functions 'native-async-compile' or 'async-byte-compile-file'. There is another package, request.el that uses async processes to do the network I/O (via curl).

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
