Hi Erik,

Currently there is not (to my knowledge) any support for asynchronous
code block evaluation.  The one possible exception could be ob-screen
which I mention only because I don't really know anything about it.

This would certainly be a worthwhile feature to add to Org-mode code
blocks, however a good implementation (easy to use, robust and
cross-language) will be non-trivial to implement.

Best,
