Re: Are there plans for a multi-threaded Emacs?

[Dhruva Krishnamurthy]

Hello,
 Is there some place/person who can elaborate the reason for not
 supporting multi-threading for GNU Emacs. Is it because there is no
 strong case for supporting/requiring a multi-threaded GNU Emacs or the
 sheer complexity in making GNU Emacs a multi-threaded application.

with best regards,
dhruva
