Is the lack of multithreading support in emacs a dealbreaker for you? (alien.top)

I like the lack of multithreading because it makes programming Emacs extensions simpler.

Yep - there's a reason asyncio event loop programming is popular in Python/JS/Rust etc.. People act like it's a crusty old inferior technique to the delights of multi-threading. In reality it often keeps things much simpler, is very powerful, and only leads to blocking behavior when it's badly coded.
