The point seems to be that there is a dedicated UI thread. That we
don't
have (yet) in Emacs, and I like this idea.

We can even keep all in emacs currently as the “UI thread”and run
another lisp machine for a worker.

I'm not expecting to get a UI thread with all glories it is specified
for web workers. I would already be happy if we could find a solution
for supporting user input in a threaded package, as it is discussed in
bug#25214 and bug#32426.

Best regards, Michael. 

The threading support introduced in emacs 26 is cool. But it is too complex when every thread can control UI and interact with user. While the web worker model is much simpler.
