> proper multitasking That's actually equally lacking on JS side (if you mean parallelism); moreover, Node advocates callback/promise-based concurrency, which is completely achievable[1] and even practical in Elisp, too. There are at least two HTTP servers written in Elisp. Lack of a high-performance VM for Emacs Lisp is a real pain, though. Emacs does everything I need it to do, it's just that sometimes it's a bit slower than I'd like. [1] https://github.com/kiwanami/emacs-deferred https://github.com/kiwanami/emacs-deferred
