Count the frequency of letters in texts using parallel computation.
Parallelism is about doing things in parallel that can also be done sequentially. A common example is counting the frequency of letters. Employ parallelism to calculate the total frequency of each letter in a list of texts.
The goal of this exercise is to practice parallelism with Emacs Lisp.
In Emacs Lisp this can be achieved by using asynchronous processes.
You may also want to look at the documentation for batch mode, sentinels and receiving output from processes.
