Yes, definitely concurrency.
My understanding is that cooperative threading could be in Emacs-25, if
a few people put enough work into it. There was a proof-of-concept
"working" a couple years ago (IIUC Gnus could run in its own thread).
For true concurrency in Elisp you might have to wait for Emacs-30.
Tho you might get true concurrency in Emacs sooner if we switch
to Guile.
