Racket supports multiple threads of control within a program,
thread-local storage, some primitive synchronization mechanisms, and a
framework for composing synchronization abstractions. In addition, the
@racket[racket/future] and @racket[racket/place] libraries provide
support for parallelism to improve performance.
