This has been discussed, some efforts have gone into implementing this sort of thing, but those efforts succumbed to complexity growth as well as interface and motivational issues.
The right approach, for now, is to spin up multiple instances of the J interpreter, and use the operating system and environment for coordination. (Either for fun, or to work around resource bottlenecks.) (And, with experience, I imagine that this could be optimized for better performance and cleaner implementations.)
