Yes and no. It depends on what you mean by ``unsynchronized''. Icon does allow result sequences to be liberated from their immediate context with co-expressions, so the results can be gathered at the programmer's leisure rather than in a depth-first order. But Icon doesn't support parallelism. However, there is a language based on Icon that uses generators as a basis for parallelism. Quite an interesting feature. The languages is experimental, it's not distributed or supported.
