Of course, thread support in GHC (and other preemptive implementations
of concurrent haskell) should be heavily considered in the specification
stage. I don't have any skill to speak about that, but I fear that a GUI
not designed for concurrency from the start will cause problems to
concurrency till its end; please take some decision on this topic before
starting the specification.
