We don't have threads in JavaScript, and there is no shared memory in most
current environments that support multicore calculations. Those who do have
shared memory do not have *arbitrary* shared memory. If we do choose to
support threads in the future, the algorithms in Promise, as well as in
many other places in the specification would have to drastically change.
Currently, the specification is not thread aware in any way. ECMAScript
implementations typically deal with concurrency though a single threaded
non-blocking event loop model where other heavy computation is offloaded to
processes or to the platform.

If there are multiple threads then yes. As explained above, ECMAScript
itself has no locks.
