Subject: bug#61350: Eglot over Tramp freezes with large project

CC eglot maintainer as requested by him.

Please bare with me Michael, if I ask a stupid question although you're a long time Emacs contributor. I saw now that concurrency in Emacs is an age old problem: https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ConcurrentEmacs

There are emacs-async and emacs-deferred. Couldn't one of them be used to write a non-blocking wrapper for file-io? NodeJS made this programming model popular when it appeared in 2009. I can't believe that nobody discussed this before for Emacs?

(Of course I otherwise despise JavaScript and NodeJS in particular with passion.)

Meanwhile I could hack eglot to not block so far by replacing find-buffer-visiting with get-file-buffer in eglot-handle-notification. Of course there will probably be other places that cause problems and I could also only use this hack because my project files are not opened via symlinks.
