I think the most promising parallel processing paradigms today are based on asynchronous IO and not threading. That's generally the direction the world is going in (Node.js / Swoole / etc.) Threading (ZTS) actually comes at a fairly high cost, primarily in terms of performance but also in terms of some implementation complexity, and has few advantages over async IO.
