    If you don't mind, I have a bit of an unrelated question for you: What are your thoughts on Emac's existing multithreading support? For a few weeks now, I'm trying to do something practical with them, and found that they at least enable one thing: accept-process-output can be done without blocking the main thread (I have an small example and I'm preparing a blog post). I'm asking because I stumbled upon this project of yours: https://github.com/minad/affe and thought that it would be easier to implement with threads (with all their limitations). It would require careful coding so that the heavier computations don't block or starve the main thread, but I think it's possible, and would result in smaller and more performant code.

    I found [affe.el](https://github.com/minad/affe), but I don't want to add this package if doom supports this kind of feature.

    The closest thing you're looking for is affe it just uses completing-read in an async manner. The filtering is also done async so there is no lag. It supports emacs' completion styles, e.g. you can couple it with orderless.

    Affe provides an asynchronous fuzzy finder similar to the fzf command-line fuzzy finder, written in pure Elisp. A producer process is started in the background, e.g., find, fd or ripgrep. The output produced by this process is filtered by an external asynchronous Emacs process. The Emacs UI always stays responsive since the work is completely off-loaded to other processes. The results are presented in the minibuffer using Consult, which allows to quickly select from the available items.
  • What is everybody using for file switching/selection?

    You may want to try my Affe, the Asynchronous Fuzzy Finder for Emacs, which works similarly to fzf and is fast, since the file list is generated only once and the filtering is performed in an external process on all files. However there is also no support for flex sorting, only filtering as offered by orderless.
