If we are looking at concurrency, there is another paradigm based on maintaining multiple internal function call stacks which a scheduler can schedule in some fair fashion. I am talking of stackless Python implementation. You really do not have multiple threads but get simulated concurrency through stack switching. The idea is to get effective parallel execution for Lisp programs and redisplay. This doesn't mean using multiple threads at the C level. It means using whatever method is convenient.
